Why the hell are churches exempt from paying taxes anyway? Because they're a "charitable organization"?
If they want to use that tactic, then they should have to submit annual 1099 forms to the IRS. They should have to allow the government auditors to examine their books (like any other nonprofit!). Anyone think a church wants the government examining their books? Then they shouldn't be granted tax exempt status!
