Review for Employment Policies Institute Foundation, Arlington, VA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

Employment Policies Institute (EPI) is one of several front groups created by Berman & Co., a Washington, DC public affairs firm owned by Rick Berman, who lobbies for the restaurant, hotel, alcoholic beverage and tobacco industries. While most commonly referred to as EPI, it is registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization under the name of "Employment Policies Institute Foundation." In its annual Internal Revenue Service return, EPI states that it "shares office space with Berman & Company on a cost pass through basis". [1]

This is so wrong and against the American People. False information given to convince them raising the minimum wage would loose jobs, fear tactics. It get's worse that our tax dollars support non-profits like this to lie to us. Their 501c3 status should be removed immediately.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Take away their 501c3 status and sanction those involved from ever getting a non-profit status again. No more of my taxes or anyone else should go to these organizations that lie and hurt the American People.
