re: #128 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)
Religious organisations are explicitly exempt in the tax code from reporting income and expenditures. They are not really skirting the law when they do not report, because they are not required to (much in the same manner I donβt file income tax forms because I am not required to).
Where it becomes a problem is when they use the explicit exemption in the law to perpetrate fraud (such as Kent Hovind with his multi-million dollar mansion he tried to write off as a parsonage, or Jim Bakker skimming from the PTL Club).
