Taxation and exemption policy

[Don Corleone]

Christian propaganda. America is a Navarosocracy. Yet its Christians squeak and whine as if they were about to be send to the lions in the Colosseum.


Gifts to charitable organisations are tax-deductible. Many charitable organisations are religious. And many religious organisations work under the cover of charity.

So churches are, in fact, doubly tax-exempt.

Whereas, If you go to work, earn some money, get half of it taxed, then use some of the half you were allowed to keep to buy food for your children - only to discover that this food is taxed as well - how is that not double taxation?

In other words, the American government subsides fat, rich churches, and pays for that by stealing the money meant to feed America's children.

Oh yeah!?!? Well.... you're FRENCH!!!!

Seriously, you have a good point, though not as good as you think. Money you pay to a church is tax deductible (lowers your overall taxable income bracket, if there's enough of it), not tax exempt in the sense you think.

But I'm all about abolishing all forms of tax exemption. I'm a Fair Tax advocate myself.

P.S. Navaros is Candadian. You know, that big white land to our North that Europeans aren't actually intimidated by and jealous of?
