Congressman Meanie proposed that the Federal government should tax contributions given to not-for-profit organizations. He stated that it is unfair for not-for-profits to receive tax exempt status, while also receiving benefits from various Federal programs. In hearings of the House Ways, and Means Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, Mr. Meanie stated that taxing Not-For-Profits would help decrease the deficit. He said, Not for profits should either pay tax or give up their Federal benefits. He further suggested that contributions to not-for-profit organizations should no longer be tax deductible. Do you agree with Congress Meanies proposals? State your reasoning, and do you believe that there are any activities of not-for-profit organizations should be taxed?
