Church's pay taxes; maybe not all the taxes you have to pay, but they are not exempt from all taxation.
This is why the only tax should be a sales tax so that we don't get into this discussion about who is paying more or less. We all pay the same with every dollar we spend.
there are many exemptions from sales taxes as well.
I am all for abolishing all special treatment for any person or business.
Do you really want to make a church or charity pay taxes where every dollar donated goes to uncle same to pay for those taxes? This is why I think a single state-wide sales tax would be better since donated dollars ain't taxed until spent thus making 100% all donations a donation to the organization itself instead of to the local government.
Their are those who want to make a big deal about this so why not channel that for our cause and eliminate all state taxes except one and that is a state wide sales tax. This way they don't cry about church and state issues and we can get some more taxes eliminated. Its a win-win for both sides.
