re: #84 Rightwingconspirator

Well this is a big topic, I also admit very mixed feelings. I’m stuck between another first amendment issue-free speech and the tax status. I get uncomfortable both ways-Mega churches endorsing candidates, and a pastor having his right to speak freely at the pulpit impaired.

I do not think school vouchers should be a problem to give parents more power to get their kids better education. But the separation issue is used very often to thwart voucher efforts.

See, if churches just paid taxes like every other institution, then there wouldn’t be any issue of infringement of rights. Speak freely all you want. And pay taxes.

IMO, Churches should have to function as non-profits to avoid taxes. Not PACs, non-profits.
