They ARE ABUSING the system. Why is this not the focus?

I couldn't agree with you more, I've said it here before on GFY, and it's not just the Tea Party - It's all of the Republican party and the Democrats also. And the fucking NRA. They use these non profit groups to push money around to political candidates... Maybe they don't give the money directly to the political candidates or even their campaigns, but instead they open up a non profit to produce and buy TV spots or fliers or ads or whatever, all quietly done under the table...
"Hey Mister Congressman, we want you to help us pass a law for our industry. Now, we can't just hand you $200k for your efforts, but you can open up a non profit and we can donate money to help fund your war chest and no one will have to know about it..."
Fuck that shit.
