This new issue is about tax relief benefits to donors. It is much newer than the settled law about tax exemptions to such things as church property.
Now were I the proverbial king I would give not just tax exemption but tax CREDIT to a very broad range of charitable activity, at least until the state got out of welfare altogether. Churches stumbled when they began to cheer for Caesar “charity.”
There should never be any limitation to the “tax relief benefits to donors” when it concerns what tax payers can deduct from their taxes. Never! It is all the same harassment using unconstitutional methods of coercion by the government.
It is time to start throwing tea into the harbor and the snakes out of Congress.
