In reply to the discussion: How is it that the Heritage Foundation under it's 501(c)3 is a tax exempt business? [View all]brooklynite
(93,834 posts)There is no requirement that a 501(C)(3) "help real people". The might be a meritorius goal, but its not what the tax code says. The Heritage Foundation does policy research, and thus fills an educational purpose, which you can choose to accept or reject. As for "dismantling our safety nets, destroying local governments via the tax bases , letting corporations abuse their employees by deregulating thelaws that might cost their corporate toads money. Advocating for taking away women's reproductive rights and endless wars.", we can agree that those are not worthy goals, but they are not wrong LEGALLY. As long as Heritage doesn't step over the line of lobbying for policies or candidates, the way to fight their ideas is with ideas of our own.
