Non-profits are generally tax exempt. Why are you only coming out to tax churches and not all non-profits? War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

What, do you think the Catholic church is really non-profit? |

Are you saying it is traded on the NYSE? Or is it owned by private equity? I will ask again, other than your bigotry against religion, why do you not call out all non-profits? War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5484 | Fine, tax "non-profits" if it makes your nipples hard, I could care less. Thing is, I see little difference between collecting money and paying out salaries and expenses by churches for "saving souls" versus "making money" by corporations such as META. Define "profit." |

Maybe...maybe not. Churches, like businesses, use revenue to meet ongoing expenses; the remainder is profit and is retained, reinvested, and replowed. Why shouldn't churches or non-profits pay a tax on the money remaining after regular expenses are met? What makes them special? Certainly nothing in my book. |
