Will this IRS rewording the code stick, or will it go back to the original wording?

We'll have to see how it plays out. I think that many of these Sec. 501©(4) organizations, on both sides, are nothing more than poorly disguised political partisans. While they are careful to skirt the letter of the law, they are clearly in violation of the spirit of that law. The more we hear those in Washington, both parties, whine about them, the more I distrust their motives.

If they "crack down" on these organizations, I believe it will be a lot of orating with little substance.

It reminds me of the tax code. While relatively smart people seek to make changes in the tax code, there are smarter people finding ways around the changes and slick ways to use the changes for their own advantage.

I guess I am getting too cynical in my old age because I don't trust either side. I like Reagan's "trust but verify". However, I prefer to verify before trusting. It is not a pleasant philosophy but it may be necessary.
