But the nonprofit sector has totally lost its original sight.
The government saw this sector as building local social capital in your local community.
And now the most successful nonprofits sucking the majority of the money are looking global.
And so now they don't really care about that local fabric anymore.
And so remember I said there's 12,000 organizations in 1913 that got that exemption?
Today there's 1.9 million in the US.
And the only argument that you can push back on as well, Nathan, population increase.
Okay.
Right.
Population increased 4.3% over the last 112 years.
So if you do that math, there should be about 60,000 organizations.
But today there's 1.9 million.
400,000.
No, those are religious institutions in general.
Yeah.
And so you have to ask why the explosion in the sector.
It's not because our social fabric's getting any better.
It's because people have realized, smart businessmen and women have realized that the nonprofit sector is the greatest sector to put money and raise money.
And then religious exemptions in particular are the best sector to play in a totally dark world.
And I'll explain what I mean by that.
