No taxation without representation? Yeah, we all seem to agree on that - but what if you get so much political representation and air time and "rights" without having to pay into the system? Let's tax them mutha effin churches, y'all!
It's not exactly my idea: I actually saw someone else comment to this effect on Facebook while I was commenting on Arizona State Rep. Debbie Lasko's page because she's a stupid idiot who tried to pass a stupid birth control bill. This "citizen commenter" said we should tax churches and I whole-heartedly agree.
These free-loaders hijack our political system, make all kindsa crazy cash on the backs of hard-working Americans and while they are in fact required to be "equal opportunity employers" - we're giving them lots of other free passes to tell us what to do and I'm tired of footing the bill for their shenanigans. Listen Padre, if you want so much public space, then pay for that public space and ante up on taxes. The Catholic Church runs an insurance company under a 501(c)(3), and the Mormon Church owns more than a dozen corporations.
If we truly have separation of church and state, then they shouldn't get a say in our political system and I'd like this enforced with the removal of Rick Santorum's larynx. Just think of all of the things we could be doing with that extra tax revenue: water slides at the White House and mayhaps a bit of healthcare for all? We could even afford to start that new War everyone's so excited about. Who was that with again - Iran? North Korea? China? Canada?
Anyway, when you get your tax refund and immediately blow it on something that you don't really need, think of this: if we taxed churches, your refund would be even bigger and you could get a fourth tattoo of tweety bird with that cash!
