The Brookings Institute is a 501(c)(03) nonprofit corporation.

Their nonprofit status should be revoked immediately. They should have to pay standard corporate income taxes just like any other business. Anyone that has donated monies to the Brookings Institute should have their tax deduction credit charged back to them.

I called the Brookings Institute at (202) 797-6000 a minute ago and told them "you are a mouthpiece for the DNC party". The lady said they have other "speakers from the other side". I told her "that as a 501(c)(03) they were playing politics and should not have a tax exempt status. That the intent of nonprofits was for charity work. And they ain't in the charity business". She said she would not my comments. "I asked her if she thought it was wise to have a man speak at their forum that left a girl to drown to death". She said "no comment and goodbye".

Since about the first day I have posted here on FreeRepublic I have ranted about nonprofits. We need to reform the nonprofit corporation laws in America. Way to many of these outfits are either in business to enrich their handlers and/or push their onw political agenda.

If this was a speech by a conservative senator to a conservative audience on a Monday morning it would never be shown on C-Span. Not only is C-Span broadcasting the speech now but you can bet your house it will be re-broadcast twice a day for the rest of the week.

Nice job.

"speakers from the other side".

I've never seen anyone from the socalled, "other side" at Brookings.
