thats something i've said for about 20yrs now... tax the churches or, give them incentives to do what they preach (i.e.: as landowners, build low and no cost housing for the poor and just starting masses.. help people get going in life..) all in all- dont just tithe the masses, DO SOMETHING about it
How about he doesn’t take the tax exemption from colleges as for churches? They may be the last institution who help the poor and orphans so let’s just leave them alone for now
Especially the Mega Maga Churches that rakes in millions of dollars. They should be made to pay their fair share. All the Churches, Corporations, Sports Organizations, everyone should pay their fair share, why dump all this on Middle America and the less fortunate. Pay up or shut the down.
If convicted felon Trump takes away Harvard's tax exempt status, well even asking for that is yet another felony and he should be charged. That gelo belongs in jail, not the White House.
Thought that for years, esp
1. The Roman Catholic Church and
2. Mega churches like Joel Osteen's "Church of the You Can't Come in During This Hurricane" Church and Grift Center.
The Tax exemption status is based on what's in the Publics Interests. If any organization with current Tax exemption status is "Beholden to radical political ideology" and promotes views "Hostile to American values" they will be legally re-classified as Political Entities, and lose Tax exemption.
Exactly! You nailed it! Should have happened with churches decades ago! Nobody peddling fairy tales or whatever should be obscenely wealthy while their parishioners can barely feed their children! Tax the hell out of churches, my tax $$ should not be used to offset organized religion/crime tax bill
Any church that has ever spoken of/for a political affiliation - posted it on a website, put it in paper, on video, or aloud to a congregation - should be taxed.
They never should have had it to begin with. Some Church Affiliated Organizations might if they're separate from the church itself, and are actual Non-Profit Charity. Still Suspect if they Discriminate in any way.
Both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine pointed out that churches should be classified the same as any other Private Social Club. Then it was about the Privileges given to the church. Thoreau made the same point in his fight against Taxes supporting the church.
I agree 100%. Trump should have no say in any of this, however, has inserted himself into every aspect of our lives. Why should he tell a public institution what to do. We need to run his administration and the Republicans out of office. If not, they will corrupt every institution.
Churches should not make a profit. They have tax exempt status under the presumption that monies taken in would aid the less fortunate. Sorry but Churches With profit are businesses and should be taxed accordingly.
Hell yeah! That alone would solve the debt issues. Especially the Mormons.. their values are all in real-estate/land grabs bigger than China.

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

After all, church and press are both part of the First Amendment.
