Baloney, I am demanding that no peaceful assembly of citizens or individual be taxed predicated on their exercise of the freedom of speech, per the first Amendment prohibition against Congress in that regard.

ONCE AGAIN - they are not being taxed for such. Instead, if they chose to be a charitable organization, they get a TAX BREAK in recognition of such. If they turn around and engage in commerce or political activity, THEY RETURN TO BEING TAXED EQUALLY.

Exemption is predicated on restraint of speech. If one exercises the right contemplated in the term "freedom of speech" and is thereby taxed because of being so engaged, that is being taxed for the exercise of a guaranteed right under the 1st amendment.

Sorry, but

Your rationalizations to the contrary do not hold water against the clear language of the 1st amendment.

"Congress shall make no law", that abrides the freedom of speech. No law, comprehends tax law as well.

If they turn around and engage in commerce or political activity, THEY RETURN TO BEING TAXED EQUALLY.

Sorry, they may not be lawfully and constitutionally taxed predicated on political activity period.
