The Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that has nothing to do with ending poverty or the rule of law, has been in the news lately.
We just learned that the SPLC has money offshore:
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a liberal, Alabama-based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization that has gained prominence on the left for its "hate group" designations, pushes millions of dollars to offshore entities as part of its business dealings, records show.Well, isn't that cute? Wonder if any Democrats will scream like they did with then candidate Mitt Romney or others?
Additionally, the nonprofit pays lucrative six-figure salaries to its top directors and key employees while spending little on legal services despite its stated intent of "fighting hate and bigotry" using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy.
My guess is that the SPLC opened up these accounts because they were looking for places that did not have a single statue of Robert E. Lee.
It begs the question: Why are they doing this? Didn't their leadership understand how problematic such investments offshore would be?
P.S. You can listen to my show (Canto Talk) and follow me on Twitter.
