That should include taxing of churches. They consume fire and police protection just like everyone else, but pay nothing for it.

Tax breaks for churches is a drop in the bucket compared to tax free clubs for white liberal elites... and their ‘charity balls’ which are nothing more than high class parties they give to themselves ON OUR DIME.

Look at the millions of dollars of write offs companies and the media get for the Correspondent's Dinner... Even the ‘stars’ that still come write the whole trip off... and companies - - and for what? A VERY FEW and cheap scholarships 7 journalism students?

It's a scam.

Millions and millions of write offs - pennies on the thousands of dollars and the fat of the land goes to corrupt white liberal elites...

It's a scam. Period. YOU support George Soros by giving him tax breaks - giving him breaks every day of your life.

Yeah, tax the churches.... with all the money the country saves on liberal elite deadbeats we can hand out tax relief like candy to citizens.

I suspect that like freepers at FreeRepublic people who care about their Church will donate without a tax benefit. And if they don't well, their loss.

Don't let liberal elites push their fake pity and phony 'concern' for churches. They don't give a damn about churches or religion or anything beyond their own self aggrandizement.

Police protection should be paid for BY COMMUNITY... Neighborhood t=hat use little police protection should pay less and neighborhoods that use MORE should pay MORE.

We don't average out our water bills so a person who's careful is stuck paying the same as a person who lets their out door hoses run all day.

Why should we do it with police protection?

(A side benefit is it would change incentives in crime ridden neighborhoods and turn the tide against the criminals in favor of decent citizens...)
