Ang non-profit tax status ng ALEC ay nagbibigay-daan sa mga corporate supporters nito na ibawas ang kanilang mga kontribusyon sa organisasyon sa kanilang corporate tax returns, sa katunayan ay nagbibigay ng tax subsidy para sa lobbying ng ALEC.&nbsp; <\/div><\/div><div style=\"color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal,'Segoe UI','Segoe WP',Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15.3333px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><\/div>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
