Meet Old Economy Steven

Old Economy Steven clings to contemporary Republican dogma as if it’s the last cold Budweiser in the fridge. He hates big government, nanny state spending but loves his social security benefits that he receives on time every month. Greedy unions do nothing but drag the economy down–save for the 20-year period he worked in a union-friendly environment and thus was able to retire comfortably with little expenses for which he can’t pay. You want to shake Steven really hard and knock some sense into him but then realize that your taxpayer dollars will likely pay for his trip to the emergency room and don’t want to give him that pleasure.

The key to this obscene state of affairs is an entity known as a 501(c)(4), named for the section of the tax code that created it. Supposedly, these are civic associations or organizations devoted to social welfare, which can operate tax-free, but whose donors aren’t allowed to deduct their contributions. Fair enough.
