OpEd from WaPo. The author advocates taxing some "non-profit" charities.

From the article: "Many “charities” have become big businesses. While numerous benevolent charities do wonderful work, the industry is dominated by some of the top companies in America operating largely free from the tax obligations that burden their for-profit competitors. The commercial revenue generated by these nonprofits totaled $2.8 trillion in 2023, nearly three times the amount nonprofits receive from donations and government grants."

Using the examples he cited, this makes some sense, and could raise money to support government activities. And what about taxing "carried interest"?
