Imagine if Pat Robertson had paid taxes all these years.

Everyone pay 5 percent and if the govt can't survive, they can go pound sand.
Do you know how much money the churches give to charity . help the homeless, help women who come from an abusive relation. With NO help from the government with the exception of lower taxes. I bet if you tax them more they would not provide these services .
Better yet, start your own "ministry" and pay no taxes!
well the Revvvvreeend Al Sharpton and Jessy Jackson does it..If it's good enough for them
I don't have access to their tax returns but since you say this is true, you must have PROOF.
Please post it.
Or is this just another of your daily lies?

In a perfect world, so would I, but since this is not a perfect world, we need to not tax them so they can help the people.

You are lumping all churches in with the Vatican. There are a lot of poor churches that do a lot for the community and don't have any extra to send to the Vatican or pay in taxes. In fact, I know a church in Tacoma that provides living spaces for homeless families and food, etc that if they had to pay property tax, they would have to close their doors and sell the church. It would cease to be and all those homeless families would have no where to go. As it is, they may cease to be as lack of parking has made it more and more difficult for people to attend that church. When I was a child they had both an adult choir and a children's choir. No less than 60 in each choir. Last time I attended the church they had one choir with 6 people in it. They were drowned out by that more than 100 year old big pipe organ. It was a sad sight. The ceiling is peeling and it's time for a new roof again and they just don't have the money. I wish I was rich and could afford to give them enough to fix up their church. Several churches along that row, all of them about 100 years old, have already closed their doors and sold out. Others are struggling to survive but even with all that struggling, they still manage to find a way to help others, even if it's just to provide a roof over their heads in the winter and some food in their bellies.

and they can cry me a river... rome or no rome. I get what you are saying... but as far as i am concerned... religion is big business.
i have said this before.... flat tax...no exemptions, no credits. Everyone pays the same.

So someone making $10.00 an hour on the part time job, the only one he can get so works only 20 hours a week, pays 5% and as a result has to do without heat while someone making $1,000,000,000 pays 5% and has to do without, what? more overseas investments?

I sincerely hope you don't find yourself freezing some night because you've lost your job, your house and all your investments when our dollar crashes and no one will help you because you wouldn't help them. Karma really is a bitch and I fear for you.
