Did you know burgers make up only 3% of McDonald's menu? Does that mean McDonald's isn't a burger company?

As someone asked already in this thread, so PP has two separate bank accounts?

And why is the administration doing this? They are trying to make our tax laws simpler. This has nothing to do with family planning or women rights.

I can make this even easier for you: Whenever any entity, whether it be PP or Federal workers unions receive taxpayer money either directly or indirectly AND are able to contribute to political campaigns, it is in effect elected officials laundering taxpayer dollars into their political campaigns.

As a tax-exempt nonprofit, Planned Parenthood is not allowed to donate directly to political causes. But, like hundreds of other nonprofits, it is permitted to establish a political action committee that is committed to its goals.

Planned Parenthood's political arm, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, works with scores of state, regional and local PACs and affiliates that seek to influence elections on every level. It is funded by private contributions and is not permitted to use the organization's funds even as it advocates for the organization and contributes to candidates sympathetic to its cause.

If this is the way we're doing things now, I don't want one red cent of my tax dollars going to christians, pointless wars in the middle east, corporate welfare, or anything else I don't like. We get to choose exactly where are taxes do and don't go now based on our personal moral compass, right?
