The law says you must pay income tax
unless you are a tax
exempt entity, and if you are accorded that
status, you can not be involved with politicking.
Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is not an
exempt recipient generally will be subject to backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24 %,
unless the Non-U.S. Holder certifies to the payor as to its foreign
status, which certification may generally be made on an applicable IRS Form W - 8.
