I find the commentary here quite entertaining yet soberingly truthful. The fact is, as the former U.S. Attorney General points out, Mr. Grassley doesn’t have the executive or legislative power to do what he is attempting to do through the METHOD that he is using. Therefore I would challenge and require the Senator to subpoena. If the subpoena would be valid, then certainly comply. This would insure confidentiality and avoid a media circus that Mr Grassley has tried to stir. Further, NONE of the ministries under scrutiny are refusing information. They are simply forcing the Senator to comply with the law.

Moreover, the IRS does INDEED have the ability to give the Senator what he is asking. I am surprised at the responses of good senator of this blog as he stated that the “prosperity gospel" extorts the poor in order to facilitate the lavish lifestyles of greedy preachers.

What he fails to realize is that these so called “greedy preachers” pour literally multiplied millions of dollars into the underprivileged, hungry and destitute. They have given way more than the senator has I assure you.

Moreover Copeland’s yearly earnings from the ministry are at an estimated $300,000 per year. This is nominal (next to nothing) compared to CEOs who make multiplied millions of dollars over the course of a few year and then bail out of the corporations with their golden parachutes. Or Madonna who does a virtual striptease perpetrating debauchery for 80 million in revenues a year. The Copelands have gone strong for over 40 years non-stop and by all indication, impeccable integrity. The owner of this blog is am intelligent fellow and I would assume that he would see the folly of his remarks toward these ministries.
