Walking Around Money

LOL...When Democrats do it, it is a time-honored tradition. When the GOP does it...pearls are clutched.

Hello "Walking Around Money"

Trump Allies are Handing Out Cash to Black Voters

From the Politico article:

The tour comes as Trump’s campaign has been investing its own money to make inroads
with black voters and erode Democrats’ overwhelming advantage with them. But the cash giveaways are organized under the auspices of an outside charity, the Urban Revitalization Coalition, permitting donors to remain anonymous and make tax-deductible contributions.

The organizers say the events are run by the book and intended to promote economic development in inner cities. But the group behind the cash giveaways is registered as a 501(c)3 charitable organization. One leading legal expert on nonprofit law said the arrangement raises questions about the group’s tax-exempt status, because it does not appear to be vetting the recipients of its money for legitimate charitable need.

"Charities are required to spend their money on charitable and educational activities,” said Marcus Owens, a former director of the Exempt Organizations Division at the Internal Revenue Service who is now in private practice at the law firm Loeb & Loeb. "It's not immediately clear to me how simply giving money away to people at an event is a charitable act.”

The charity - The Urban Revitalization Coalition - has been handing out door prizes at campaign events featuring $300 and $500 prizes.

After the article lambasts the organization for being tax exempt, it then admits deep into the article:

Charitable organizations can hold events praising and honoring public officials so long as they avoid supporting or opposing candidates in elections.

Funny how the liberals at Politico found a "scandal" which even they had to admit was perfectly legal - and something the Democrats have done repeatedly over the years.

What is the purpose of this money? At this early stage it doesn't buy votes. Perhaps some good will, but not votes. But it DOES move money to people who can contribute it back. That was the old Democratic trick, to hand out cash as "charity" and have it given back as campaign contributions. Launders it from Federal campaign finance law. The Clinton Foundation is a massive example of this simple trick.

I don't really think this is what is happening here; there is money going out to people who need it.

I should like to point out that in the early days of the Republic it was common to pay people ON ELECTION DAY for their votes. Candidates had to throw lavish election parties with food and liquor. Even George Washington, a man of fabled sobriety and prudence, had to throw such parties when he was running for President.

But it really is a distasteful practice.

I suspect the influx of former Democrats is at the root of this; they have always done things this way. That Politico would find fault with the practice now is beyond hypocrisy.

Public Reaction and Legislation

Most prominent use of marijuana was for psychiatrics as well as for the psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic researches. The reason is that it has remarkable capabilities of bringing to surface the subconscious.


Marijuana still is part of some of the medicines that require sedation or mild intoxication but its use is gradually coming down after scientists highlighted disadvantage of its use.
