ACORN on the Loose

This evening, I watched a special on FOX News regarding the community organizing group ACORN. The host interviewed the founder of the organization and carried on a decent conversation with him. I knew beforehand that ACORN was a corrupt and ineffective organization tool and was violent in demonstrations, but this affirmed it. Thanks to the in depth reporting, details were uncovered about ACORN that I had not known before. Of course what sparked this is the recent leak of a secret video where ACORN employees try to figure out how to sneak prostitution/prostitution income by the IRS. ACORN's hypocrisy was also a main point in the one hour segment. While they supported a legal minimum pay above the minimum wage for low skill jobs, they asked states for exemptions from that law. They failed to realize that when I pay, per say, $15 per hour for a burger flipper at Joe's Burger Hut, I cannot pay as many people to do the work than I could if I paid twice the amount of people $7.50 per hour. I believe that some people do not have the standard of living that they should, but I also understand fundamentals of economics. Another heinous crime that ACORN takes fondly to is voter fraud. Just this last year, the organization registered tens of thousands of phony voters in Nevada alone. Thankfully, the Nevada Attorney General (a Democrat) pursued charges. This assault on our country's principle's cannot be tolerated. People say that ACORN wouldn't be an issue if McCain was president, but rather it is such a key issue because Obama had ties to them. I don't care who's president or what party they're from; if an organization is guilty of voter fraud, they must pay the consequences. ACORN isn't so great at auditing their funds either. For example, it turns out that certain monies designated for nonpartisan voter registration ended up paying for very partisan agendas. My last complaint: ACORN is secretive and deceiving in going about their activities. It turns out the founder's brother embezzled close to $1 million from various employee funds. The founder decided not to report it to the IRS, or the Board of Directors. They "solved" the problem personally (and lying while doing so). The chairs of the Board of Directors wished to pursue further auditing, but were fired immediately for "[...] trying to distract the organization from its core mission." Or something like that. This behavior is inexcusable and must be condemned by legislators, the president, and anyone else in power. I hope in my lifetime, to see ACORN return to calm demonstrations like the Tea Party goers display, or vanish completely.
Thank you for reading.
