[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a list of over 17,000 tax-exempt entities operating in the District of Columbia: http://fwd4.me/QxW . The list includes many entities that are not designed to serve DC residents, including such national organizations as AARP, NARAL, NAACP, and the National Academy of Sciences. Nevertheless, these organizations employ thousands of DC residents, and buy many millions of dollars of goods and services from DC businesses.

Are you really proposing that DC revoke the tax-exempt status of all these entities to the extent they're not aimed at DC residents? If so, I think you're taking a short-sighted view of tax and revenue policy.

I also think you're off-base to suggest this is an issue of DC sovereignty. DC chose to extend tax-exempt status to all these organizations, and DC could revoke that right. It's not that DC lacks the authority -- it's just a stupid idea.[/quote]

talk about being off base. Who said anything about NAACP or the AARP? We're talking about schools here. You're not just off base you're talking about a different sport. I dare say you just like to hear yourself ramble. [/quote]
