    All churches should be taxed. Wal-Mart does much more to help the poor than all churches combined, but Wal-Mart has to pay taxes.

    It's about time churches start paying their dues to our society.

    It is this sort of BS that lost the election for Dems. A Catholic priest owns very little. Give you charitable donation to a bunch of nuns and they will make sure that every cent goes to the cause. There will be no mansions for anyone, but they will pray for your sorry soul.

    If churches sway their followers in politics (which they do), it's time for them to start paying their fair share of taxes. This day and age, there is absolutely no reason for them not to pay taxes.

    Religion in America is worth more than google and facebook combined. Let's tax it.

    Mankind is waking up, and sees past the lie that is religion. Why give a free pass to organizations that do not contribute to education, science, and medicine? It is time that these organizations put their money where their mouth is.

    An elder from a mega church took my father and had his will changed. I believe taxing them would completely shut down this criminal enterprise.

    Churches claim they are charity organizations, yet they take advantage of their tax exemption to build extravagant buildings and have huge events for their members

    It's time to end nonprofit tax breaks for churches, yes, but in general. It's too easy for these funds to be used for unsavory and untraceable activities.
