Why don't they pay taxes?

Post by _Paul Kemp »

Why aren't we taxing churches? Seriously.

"The government is trying to censor me and other religious leaders," Booth told ABC News. "I may be taking on the IRS, but the IRS has taken on the Constitution unchallenged since 1954. I feel like the only law that should dictate what I am allowed to say is the First Amendment."


This man has a point, he should be able to say whatever he wants under free speech. The problem is, you aren't paying taxed for your little corporation. Pay taxes for your business like everyone else, and then you can run it the way you want to.

"The gist of my speech was you can't support Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama because they support abortion and homosexual marriage, and the scripture vehemently opposes both. I didn't say vote for McCain, but I'm planning to," he said.


So a pastor is telling his congregation that god wants McCain to be president. What if he looses?


In addition to being a pastor, Booth is also a delegate to the Republican National Convention. But it was his Lord and Savior, he says, not his party bosses, who told him to literally make a federal case out of preaching a sermon.


Sure he did buddy. Would we elect someone who claimed to communicate with Odin?

I say let them say whatever they want about any candidate, but stop giving them free money. We all pay taxes, why shouldn't these clubs have to?
We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
