yukong, you really have zero idea how property taxes work(and clearly tenn2005 has no idea either, since he wishes he "had said that")...obviously someone in a $1m home pays more in property tax than someone in a $800,000 home, but the thing is your church is paying NOTHING, do you understand - NOTHING...therefore you ARE being subsidized by way of a tax credit...perhaps this simple example is too hard for you guys to understand, and you should ask an accountant about this

"perhaps this simple example is too hard for you guys to understand, and you should ask an accountant about this"

I am and ave been an accountant for over forty years. The income tax s based on just that, income. Some pay more and some pay less, but as Americans, we all receive the same benefits. Why is that a problem for you?

dude...I understand completely. Your point is baseless. The guy in the $3,000,000 homes up in Gallardia in OKC pay 20 times the property taxes that I do in my $140,000 home. But they have the same roads, bridges, schools, parks, fire and police protection that I do. They have the same ambulance service (tax subsidized) and the same hosptials. They have the same thing I do, but they pay 20 times more. So in your world, I'm being given a tax credit too.

I think that it really is you that have "zero" idea how property taxes work.

You know...people who rent apartments pay no property taxes. But they still get the same roads and schools, etc. I guess you are also going to demand that we outlaw renters. That everyone must own a home.

Do you even read what you post? I wonder. It seems that you are so filled with hatred that you have lost all sense of reason.

All churches do not pay taxes - not just the Church of Christ.

But, who is it that provides food, shelter and monetary help to those who ask that are desperate? The churches, of course.

In fact, IMHO, our benevolence program is purely confiscated by the illegal immigrants appearing every two weeks for the groceries. Of course, this is paid for by member contributions.

So, the companies get cheap labor paying no benefits to the illegals and the churches have to pick up the benefits to allow the family of five to be able to live on the cheap wages.

A real controversy for those wanting to help the poor.
