Aren't they tax exempt because they stay out of politics?
Not any longer!!!! I’m sure some guys from the IRS are heading down there to help them find their pockets.
Just as soon as they stop by the progressive leaning black Churches to collect when they cross the political line...
Oh wait, according to people like you, that's A-OK, and anyone who says otherwise is a racist....
That you’re a racist isn’t my concern.
Tax exemptions come with stipulations. You violate them, you should get taxed.
Those exemptions were weak to start with, considering any other tax exempt group can do political advocacy, and were ignored when it was mostly being done by progressive black churches. Now that the shoe may be on the other foot, idiots like you can't wait to gun after whichever one decides to "leave the plantation" so to speak.
I have a feeling the first time the IRS actually tries to enforce the law that is on the books, you will have constitutional challenges coming out of the woodwork.
This also assumes that the activity being discussed is a sermon from the pulpit, which is what the law was targeting, and not a separate political rally only supported by the Church group, which is a far murkier situation.
