    why not do away with tax exempt status for churches and religious organizations? they endorse candidates and tell people how to vote all the time when it is a clear violation for them to do so. why not tax them, let them campaign for candidates and tell their flocks how to vote, and everyone is happy??
    There are many organizations that you support, such as planned parenthood, which would face the same fate.

    What's good for the goose is good for the gander ... or something like that.
    planned parenthood is not tax exempt. it receives funding and is a provider for health care services for those on medicaid, but they are not tax exempt. they pay taxes.

    where is _?? she could explain that better than i could.


    Aren't they 501(c) (3)?
    I believe that is tax exempt status although I am not positive on all taxes like payroll and others... But i believe churches have the same status

    if that happened, there are some beautiful churches that would go BK and I would love to purchase the real estate. I would also like to build some strip malls and tract housing on some old cemetaries, but that is still a work in progress.
