Well, Mike, all your comments are taken to heart, but the range of the functions of 501c organizations is so broad that to make some kind of argument that we deserve or should get some compensation based on the practices of some and the opinions of others is a very, very thin stretch. No one would consider arguing that the individual members of the Democratic Party should receive a portion of the donations given and campaign funds raised (even though they HEAP the product on all of us whether we want it or not), yet poloitical parties are 501c chartered. No one would go to the Red Cross and expect a portion of donations based on the fact that you are a member and donate blood. If you still think you "deserve" a cut, take it to the ACLU, they are another 501c. I'm quite sure they don't want to give you any of the revenue they have accumulated from the mass quantity of tax-payer funded court cases they have screwed the American public with.
