    Fine, as long as they have their tax exempt status removed.

      They won’t, because the politicians they elect will defend their base of support.

      This isn’t like when Obama/Pelosi went after ACORN in 2009. Or SCOTUS struck down the right of unions to fund raise for candidates under the Janis decision. Or FOX News spent months freaking out over the Ground Zero Mosque. Or Midwestern governors tried to cancel Sunday early voting in order to undermine “Souls to the Polls” black Evangelical turnout. These are people with real money and influence who aren’t to be fucked with.

      Conservatives will tap that reserve whole heartedly. Liberals will just shrug and say they can’t be taxed because of The Norms.
