Chamber of Commerce Accused of Tax Fraud.

[elleng]

With a war chest rivaling that of the Republican Party itself, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has emerged in the last year as perhaps the Obama administration’s most-well-financed rival on signature policy debates like health care and financial regulation.

Critics on the left have long complained about the chamber’s outsize influence. But now they are taking on the business association directly, charging in a complaint filed Friday with the Internal Revenue Service that it violated tax codes by laundering millions of dollars meant for charitable work from a group with ties to the insurance giant A.I.G.

4. Nothing like the election of Obama to make them show themselves as the scumbags they are.

I'm glad Apple left them behind. Wonder what took them so long.

It took the ascendency of Obama to the Presidency to alert me to the right-wing scumbaggery that is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with their sociopathic ad campaigns full of bald-faced lies.

Thanks for the reminder as to their true nature.
