geez tenn2005,
you don't understand the property tax pool of money either, do you??...YOUR CHURCH IS BEING SUBSIDIZED by way of a property tax exemption!...this isn't complicated stuff you know
My church is in no more being subsidized than you are being subsidized by the $1,000,000 home owner down the road from you. You don't pay as much tax as he does, but you get the same benefits from the government as he does. You have the same schools, and roads, and parks, etc...but you are paying far less than he...so I guess you are being subsidized too...and to follow your logic...you are also bad. You should be paying the same amount of property taxes as him. I'll bet next year you will check to see what the largest property owner is paying and you will pay that amount, since your conscience cannot tolerate someone "freeloading". Let me know how that works out.
