Some of you guys act like you have no idea what a non-profit is and understand that there are many types of non-profits per law. This overly simplistic "pay their fair share" nonsense is just silly. No one wants all to pay their fair share more than myself.
This is certainly not a complete list
Trade associations: The NFL (not to be confused with the for profit teams), Chamber Of Commerce, Realtors, Cattlemens association
Charity: United Way
Religious: churches
Civic: Lions, Rotary,
Clubs: VFW, American Legion
In fact the IRS recognizes more than 30 different types of non-profits. Most of the money for nonprofits is post tax except for the donations that are to tax deductible groups.
I cannot believe so many of the posters here think churches, charity, and associations should pay taxes.
