The 501(c)(4) was worded to expressly grant tax exempt status for social welfare organizations. Even though it has been misused by both political parties since 1959, the IRS should use the original intent and meaning of this tax law. The status has been improperly used to avoid paying taxes and shield donors. All political organizations using the 501(c)(4) should have this status revoked and the future use of this non-profit status should be expressly used for social welfare organizations.
