re: #73 Rightwingconspirator

Again, I really don’t think the first amendment has a direct connection to this. We guarantee freedom of the press in the first amendment; we still tax newspapers.

I’ve got no interest in taxing churches, as I said above. Hell, I’ve got no interest in taxing any (domestic) corporation, either.

However, these days, many churches are blatantly violating the rules on political involvement, and many more are blatantly violating the rules on individuals profiting from them. I don’t care how small and struggling the local church is, if they’re saying “Go vote for Senator X”, they’re violating the law and should be slapped down for it.

It’s a big problem, and getting bigger.
