Tax & Business Law Commentary
January 18, 2006
Stuart Levine
...The information that is publicly available is still too limited to allow one to definitively answer that question. However, the facts that are publicly available point to systematic violations by Norquist of various provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
...in an article entitled The Pimping of the President, the Texas Observer gives a detailed account of how Jack Abramoff and Norquist got paid by two Native American tribes to provide a personal audience with President Bush. There seems to be some question as to who was in attendance, but there is no question that Norquist's organization, Americans for Tax Reform, recieved a $25,000 payment for Norquist's efforts.
...it appears that Norquist, and probably others, used 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities to engage in the "business" of partisan politics. That business made them money, as their influence and the funding of their controlled 501(c) entities grew.
