Salvation for sale by the 12 pack

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is asking for the financial records of a number of the nations largest televangalitical organizations, because (GASP!) something might be amiss. Something seems askew. Something ain't quite right here. I cant quite put my finger on it but perhaps these fabulously wealthy organizations that enjoy tax-exempt status seem a bit odd when the "ministers" are making six(6) figure salaries and driving a Roles Royce. (quite the fine automobile)



Some of you might be wondering why they are scrambling to comply voluntarily. It seems to me that this sounds like a voluntary request at this point and if one were misappropriating money from a tax-exempt organization and inclined to commit further crime, one could alter ones records to appear less damning, and thusly seem to be in compliance in hopes of avoiding an investigation by the IRS who may be more inclined to use police authority and warrents to get the information they require. Not that any of these just crusaders for the glory of Christ would even misuse the money in the first place, let alone lie about it to a duely elected member of congress.
