I've never understood the connection between political activity and tax exempt status. An individual or a corporation doesn't pay a different tax rate depending on whether they endorse a candidate.  If they are a non-profit, they shouldn't pay taxes. If they are for-profit, they should.

Question for the Americans: Do groups like the NRA or NARAL have to pay income tax because they endorse candidates?

It's more about property tax than income tax.

So the NRA would pay property tax on their headquarters correct?
