Are you suggesting that that 2.4MM goes under the expense of MA's costs too? Those are employees of the AMA Hoss. And the AMA can do whatever they want within the legal limits of state, federal and tax law. Your beef is with the lawmakers and you are once again trying to defame the AMA at every single turn.
Now, in relation to the USPS item, since the published cost of $18 for the member's magazine subscription is in each MA magazine for "postal" considerations, what would happen if some Good Samaritan decided that in the interest of honest society, he should notify the US Postal Service Attorney General, that AMA has filed false documents for the purpose of securing lower mailing costs. Just a passing thought!
I dare you to do it. You are insinuating the AMA's lawyers, accountants, investment advisors, EC, certain AMA staff could be guilty of a Federal crime. Go ahead give it your best shot. How stupid do you think they are Hoss? If I were you I would find out the real requirements of USPS NFP discounts before you start calling AMA Federal thieves. Personally I don't know the information, but I'm SURE the USPS only request GROSS operating dollars for your publication because that's how Gov't agencies work. The net dollars are not shown till after the end of the fiscal year, so how on earth could the AMA ever present NET dollars to the USPS until the books are closed year after year?
How much damage is done to AMA's membership roster because the unfair business practices of a NON-TAXABLE organization produces a SUBSIDIZED COMMERCIAL magazine that is in competition with free-market media
Then I guess your beloved NRA is guilty of the same operation. EAA, AOPA and so forth. MA is not in the commercial market Hoss, MA is a membership publication. Again your beef is with the lawmakers that WROTE the unrelated business code which the AMA abides by LEGALLY.
I'm sorry Hoss, but that's it. No more communicating with you, I'm done. I'll give you the same red hand Muncie gave you a few months ago. You keep up your crusade to bring the AMA down, give it your best shot. You think I'm some kind of idiot, but I'm not Hoss. On one hand you claim to be the Saint of the AMA and on the other hand you are their worst enemy. You show no respect to the people whom you've claimed to be a crusader too.
