Report: Nonprofits ‘Gaming the System’ for Farm Subsidies That Never Reach Farms
9th March 2014
The Three Year Economic Saving Program, which supervises Muhammad farms, is owned by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. The farm is located in Georgia, but the government subsidies, nearly $160,000, have gone to Farrakhan’s home in Chicago since 2002. The program, which was incorporated on Sept. 12, 2001, has been listed as “Not in Good Standing” by Illinois’s secretary of state since last September. The Office of the Illinois Secretary of State said the program was “involuntarily” dissolved by the State of Illinois on Feb. 1.
Stealing from the taxpayer is a constant temptation when what is effectively a rounding error from the government’s perspective is wealth beyond the dreams of avarice to the individual.
