Should Churches Remain Tax-Exempt?

[Heywood]

We can't tax the Vatican, it's recognized by the world as a sovereign state, as you said.
Like I said earlier tax the church and then watch us gain access to schools and courts and all other government that we see fit to. You can't have your cake and it it too.

I don't see that you'd do anything you don't do already. And that's the point. At least we'd tax the dollars once before the headed to the
Vatican.

In my opinion nobody should get a deduction for charitable giving. Be it to Doctors Without Boarders or the LDS.

The tax code should be simple. You earn this much, you pay this much in tax.
