O'Reilly - Will Gay Marriage take Church tax exemption away?
#5
RE: O'Reilly - Will Gay Marriage take Church tax exemption away?
I'm actually ok with tax exemptions for churches - My criteria for taxing a collective enterprise is whether or not their primary activity is directed towards profit. It seems obvious that churches desperately want money, but what they want to do is to convert everyone and do their religious faith based activity. As long as they don't make profit their number one goal (and there's evidence for that) I don't favour taxing churches - Also, I'm talking about income tax only.

(From my experience the Catholic church lives largely on donations, specially local churches, I don't exactly see them making business like corporations do)
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
