ACORN has a new problem. Besides having still more of its members arrested for voter fraud, now it has to answer why its staff offers advice is tax fraud and insight on how to file illegal immigrant, underage sex slaves as dependents.
In the videotape, made on July 24, James O’Keefe, a 25-year-old independent filmmaker, posed as a pimp with a 20-year-old woman named "Kenya" who posed as a prostitute while visiting ACORN’s office in Baltimore. The couple told ACORN staffers they wanted to secure housing where the woman could continue to maintain a prostitution business.
…
On the videotape, "Kenya" can be seen telling an ACORN staffer that she earns roughly $8,000 a month. The ACORN employee then suggests to "Kenya" that ACORN could submit a tax return for 2008 showing that she made $9,600 for the entire year — instead of $96,000 — and that ACORN would charge "Kenya" $50 instead of the usual $150 fee for preparing her taxes.
ACORN offers tax preparation and benefits application services free of charge during tax season; it charges nominal fees during non-tax season.
The ACORN staffer can also be seen suggesting that the prostitute list her occupation as a freelance "performing artist."
"It’s not dancing, trust me," the "pimp" says.
"But dancing is considered an art," the ACORN staffer replies. "[Exotic dancers] usually go under performing artists, or yeah, they usually go under performing arts, which will be what you are — a performing artist."
The "pimp" later says that he and "Kenya" plan to bring up to 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador to work as prostitutes. Although an ACORN staffer points out their plans are illegal, she also suggests that the girls can be claimed as dependents.
"What if they are going to be making money because they are performing tricks too?" the pimp says.
"If they making money and they are underage, then you shouldn’t be letting anybody know anyway," the ACORN staffer says, and laughs. "It’s illegal. So I am not hearing this, I am not hearing this. You talk too much. Don’t give up no information you’re not asked."
The "pimp" then asks ACORN staffers to "promise" not to discriminate against his sex worker because of "who she is and what she does," according to the audiotape.
"If we don’t have the information, then how are we going to discriminate?" the ACORN staffer replies. "You see what I am saying?"
If the girls are under age 16, the ACORN staffer says on the tape, then they are not legally allowed to work in the state, regardless of what they do.
"So it’s like they don’t even exist?" "Kenya" asks.
"Exactly," the ACORN staffer replies. "It’s like they don’t even exist."
Here are the videos:
Here’s a complete transcript of the entire film.
ACORN has fired the two employees in the video, saying they “did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.” Seems to me they were following ACORN standard M.O.
Another question that comes to mind is how many times have they given this advice. Is this something they have done before.
If the video doesn’t sicken you, this will. In January, Obama signed over $5.2 billion in taxpayer money to ACORN, via the Stimulus Package. Your taxpayer money, going to hide sex slaves within the federal tax structure.
