"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?
tenn2005, i never said a word about income taxes!, i said property taxes!...and if you really have been an accountant for 40 yrs then you would undertsand that the property tax pool is such that other property taxpayers pay more to compensate the fact that the church is being subsized by way of a PROPERTY tax exemption...i highly doubt you are an accountant, or else i wouldn't have to explain this to you
