The community's benefit. Now, there is a broad term!

And who decides the benefit? So utilitarianism, e.g. the greatest good for the greatest number, decided by elected officials?

This is what we fought a revolution over gang. This is out and out tyranny.

You got it. The Supremes today crushed the foundation the country was built on. There is just no rational excuse for what 5 lawyers did to us.

Also, how long do you suppose it'll take for municipalities to look at churches, especially older ones on prime real estate, and decide that a better use would bring tax dollars instead of an exemption?

"The community's benefit."
In concept, this is similar to Hitler's
"Crimes against the State."

Oh, don't worry; we know there could never be any nefarious motives among local politicians in this country. It will be administered truly for the good of all, with no other concerns involved.

KOFF. KOFF. KOFF-KOFF.
