1. I think any group applying for tax exempt status should be scrutinized

[WonderGrunion]

2. I think any group that rails against paying taxes

Should be looked into by the group that collects taxes.

3. Exactly! Just as any group that rails against the police should be investigated by the police. And

any group that rails against the intelligence services should be investigated by the intelligence services. That is only common sense.

5. Any group dedicated to breaking laws (like organized crime)

should be investigated by law enforcement agencies.
