What is this even about ? You want churches to pay taxes why ?

...because there's no reason for them to be allowed to earn money and hold land and not pay taxes like everyone else?

You are doing it wrong you aren't supposed to read anything !

I occasionally try to be somewhat proactive with my job, a stance I repeatedly regret.

I don't care either way. I'm more concerned about my taxes not the churches...

A lot of companies don't pay taxes. Look at Google GM etc. No one is complaining about that...

Everyone thinks Google is this mystical loving company. Take a look at their tax practices.

Maybe if the churches paid their share yours wouldn't keep going up.

Or, at the very least, maybe we'd see a bit more getting done with more money still in the system.

Or maybe it would just get wasted too. ***. I don't know.

No one pay taxes. Let's just let anarchy rule.

We're going Fallout 3 up in here.

There is literally no topic, anywhere, that this statement is true for.

I am concerned, actually. C'mon. I know you like to stir the pot and post wildly hyperbolic statements, but you know full well I think corporations should be paying more. Even the ones I like okay.

You can complain about taxes all you want they aren't going away. I don't see what the point is of going on and on about it though !

I didn't take the H and R block three hour seminar to explain the nuances of tax evasion. Or I'd go on and on about how to fix the problem !

I don't want them to go away.

I want corporations and churches paying more, and any at all.

Respectively.

I just think in general we should pay taxes the do something. But you know the government doesn't know how to allocate money for things that actually need done.

I agree. While related they are, however, two separate issues.

A complete restructuring of our budget and expenditures from top to bottom wouldn't go amiss, and there likely isn't a single area where we couldn't cut bloat or more-effectively spend.

And we can deliver that budget to the President from atop our golden unicorn.

I thought "bro" was scraping the bottom of the barrel. Turns out, you can always pick up the barrel.

Because they're a buisness, and every other buisness pays taxes, the Church should'nt be any different.

I like 'dog'.

'bro' in a way that mocks the people that would normally say it.

'man' or 'sir' is my go to in RL though.

'dog' in kind of a mocking tone too, really. IE: "how's your life, dog?"

I like "chief", "champ", "sport", "slugger", "big guy", or any other diminutive nickname your grandpa may have called you.

You mean like "kiddo", "tiger", or "the one I don't like"? Those were my favorite.
