AARP IS NOTHING BUT AN INSURANCE SALESMAN?

~ The Rebel ~ June 18, 2011 17:18:27
We’ve all heard of AARP: that friendly, non-profit organization that just wants to help our seniors? Wrong. While AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, is technically considered a private not-for-profit organization, they were founded in 1958 with a primary mission to sell seniors health insurance. That’s right, sell. As in to make money.

But when an organization’s primary mission is to sell a product (in this case health care insurance) and spends tons of money on lobbying and political contributions, it should not be eligible for tax-exempt status.

Many Republicans in the 112th Congress recognize this. In fact, in April, Reps. Wally Herger and Dave Reichert released a report entitled “Behind the Veil: The AARP America Doesn’t Know” to address the reality that AARP has violated their 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status.

    AARP has turned into a Democrat Party lobbying org. They adocated Obamacare then opted out of it for their employees.
