If taking away your churches tax-exempt status kills it, it needs to be killed.
What is truly of God will not be touched by losing tax-exempt status.
This is quite an indictment of your church.....
If you think that only weak churches would close if subjected to to full taxation powers of the federal government you are deluding yourself. It is axiomatic that the power to tax is the power to destroy.
Only conservative churches are targeted. No liberal church will ever be subpoenaed or taxed for advocating homosexual marriage, abortion, socialism or black racism.
When Planned Parenthood gives up its tax exempt status then the churches will give up theirs. This Mayor is an idiot. If this is ever challenged the IRS will lose. There is no basis in the constitution for forfeiting a right granted in the Bill of Rights!!! Having said that I wish the all tax exempt statuses were eliminated by eliminating the IRS and go with a federal sales tax or something similar!!!
Good point. I guess I wasn’t looking at it in that light.
God is good and he will make all things right in the end.
