Trump Should Clawback All 501(c)(3) < Non-Profits > Non-Rent/Mortgage Holdings People are still probably giving to charities, even if they don't know they are--for example, autopayments, deductions and things like this.   Trump should claw back everything given to charities going back to the beginning of the year, after any employees are paid in full, and any debtors are paid in full and the rent / mortgages paid.   Why?   Because these are businesses that are NOT supposed to make a profit.  They enjoy a special status, because they are philanthropic Nothing that a charity does will make ANY sense if everyone is dead.  Whether you believe corona is real or 'just the flu' (you'd be wrong--google ground glass opacity corona); it's potential for killing large groups of people is real and we're just trying to figure out how to race to a cure and/or treatment and/or preventative measure This is a group effort, and if you're going to keep operating in the US as a nonprofit, you have to first ENSURE THAT AMERICA EVEN EXISTS That is why, in this time of WAR against a pandemic, Trump should clawback 100% of the revenue of all charities, without exception of what they do (to be fair), including churches, research, clinton foundation, politics, ecology, etc and before it disgorges their holdings and hijacks future financial income, it ensures everyone who is to be paid is paid and that rent and utilities are paid When its time to restart the economy, they can do what small businesses do and get compensated and assistance to get back to operating mode and the governemnt will give it back to them. These businesses have a responsibility to our society--that is WHY we give them the non-profit tax status.  It is at THIS time they need to give back. Otherwise, they will have a non-competitive advantage against small businesses and other businesses in that they will enjoy simply shutting down and continuing to receive tax-free income in the form of autopayments, autodeductions, donations, etc that other businesses  wont' have THen when you restart the economy, you'll have all these (dare I say, mostly fake phoney and fraudulent) charities that are able to start right back up, but then you have no mom and pops, or any other infrastructural business to start the economy...you end up with a glut of charities that honestly don't DO anything but take your money and give about 5%-25% on avg to the charitable activities for which they exist The only charities I would NOT clawback on would be those working DIRECTLY on coronavirus research right now. Then this clawback can be used to rebuild society; to the dept of transport to rebuild roads and bridges; to help the local small businesses Honestly, we have enough churches and churches have too much money.  They do.  I won't hear any arguements.  My parents are catholic and one set of parents goes to a church that is essentially like a cathedral in the middle of downtown.  You dont' need that.  And they are building more of them.  You dont' need that.  You really don't.  It's actually a disgusting display when you have RIGHT OUTSIDE of this building a homeless food shelter and people lined up.  It's like if you're not fixing that problem, but instead making new stained glass, then F you, you get clawed back.
