  1. Askew says his bill does nothing to prevent the United Daughters of the Confederacy from continuing to operate.

    “It’s about who we are giving special privileges to and what they stood for,” said Askew. “We know that the United Daughters of the Confederacy has continued to push the narrative of the lost cause and we don’t need to continue to support that in our tax code.”

  2. >In recent hearings, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution spoke against the bill.

    >“I have done a lot of work in the Civil War, the war between the states,” said one member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. “We would all do well to learn and really not punish the soldiers and the families of those who lose ones in that struggle.”

    Ummm…maybe don’t take up arms against The United States of America and that won’t be a problem?

  3. Good. Down with the traitors, up with the star!🇺🇸

  4. Good, that’s at least… Wait, THEY WERE GIVING CONFEDERATE ORGANIZATIONS TAX BREAKS??

  5. We clearly see now how reconstruction should have played out a lot different.

  6. Can we back the fuck up to WHY DO THEY HAVE THOSE?

  7. What, no this isn’t far enough. That organization needs to be shut down and everyone in it needs to be in jail for treason. Because if you don’t know history the confederacy is a bunch of traitors.

  8. That there are still Confederate organizations to strip tax breaks from is wild

  9. Wait, literal traitor organizations were getting TAX BREAKS?!

  10. Now to do the same to churches and all religious organizations.

  11. It was all going great for all the traitor organization until someone created “Trans children of the Confederacy”

  12. Jesus Christ! Why the hell in 2024 is any organization inspired by, celebrating, or born from the confederacy receiving tax breaks? By definition, the confederacy was not part of the United States why should any part of it receive a tax benefit from the United States?

  13. No organization should get tax breaks. Churches, non profits, and corporations should all pay into the machine

  14. What kind of scam did they have going and how could it be tax free?

  15. I’m sorry, but shouldn’t this have been done [check watch] 159 years ago?

  16. Still not signed by the governor yet. This is still just a bill. In 2024.

  17. We’ve been giving traitors tax breaks for how long wth

  18. god bless the unites states of America and may the confederacy get FUCKED AGAin

  19. Its a sad state of affairs when its not even shocking that there are STILL confederate organizations in flipping 2024…or that they were getting tax breaks…

  20. Ok. It’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s more like they were taking advantage of nonprofits’ tax-exempt status and the confederate organizations were hanging onto others’ coattails and this law was meant to shake them off because obviously, they are a hate group masquerading as a wholesome remembrance organization.

  21. Wait till the daughters of the third reich hear about this
