The only answer to this problem, which by nature will get progressively 
worse, is to abolish *all* tax deductions. (I.e. flat tax.)  It was the 
threat of withholding tax exempt status with which IRS targeted 
conservative groups.  There is no such threat if there are no deductions.


On similar lines, can we get government out of the marriage business?  
Government marriage was a 20th century invention (before then all 
marriages were common law), and its sordid initial purpose was to outlaw 
mixed race marriages. (Similar to how government schools were created to 
indoctrinate Catholic children.)  While there are some legitimate 
purposes to a government marriage license, e.g. disease screening, today 
government clearly has no idea what a marriage is - so why get a 
license?  If I were getting married today, I would *not* get a 
government license.
