Harvard Crimson Shows Support For Troubled Law School Ethics Professor's Presidential Campaign

Good citation of credentials certifying that Professor of Ethics "On Leave" Lessig is a bona fide member of the beautiful elite people. That provides him with an exemption from inconvenient laws, and from rectitude. Harvard University, his employer, enjoys property and income tax exemptions, from the City of Cambridge, the state of Massachusetts and the United States government. Prof. Lessig wants to be President so he can as Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires, the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” He asserts his motivation is to end campaign finance corruption of elections or something. The IRS tax code and US Department of the Treasury laws strictly prohibit tax exempt corporations from conducting political activity using its not for profit corporate status. Professor of Ethics at the Safra Center, Mr. Lessig, uses his office for his campaign, an example of "political activity," as defined in the laws. State and city exemptions follow US standards, which means he may be violating those exemption criteria too. 



Not to worry, Harvard University, a tax exempt corporation (charity, Ahem!) operating as a not for profit educational institution, has an endowment of $37 billion. Whatchu gonna do about it? Huh? The IRS selectively enforces laws against conservative not for profits. Harvard University a vigorous promoter of academics who approve of violence against white people, a vigorous supporter of diversity has no need to worry. The IRS will overlook any of their violations. So too will the Cambridge City government, which is in awe of the university. Likewise for the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, which is likely run by a Harvard University alumni, like the current and previous governors. If you are one of the beautiful people, and are largely endowed you too can ignore laws if they are a bother. Cheers.

Lessig 2016
Harvard Law School professor Larry Lessig is an unlikely presidential contender. But his sudden leap into the 2016 race means that he’s serious about it.
