Thank you Thom for this article. I’ve been saying for years to “tax the churches!” It has bothered me for a long while that televangelists and mega church organizations are not taxed. The pastors’ extravagant lifestyles are obscene to me, especially while saying the hypocrisy out loud about Jesus and his teachings. Granted there are churches that are legit and have very active charitable activities. But the exorbitant wealth of many of the mega churches are suspect to me for corruption and dark money political manipulation.
How about taxing the income of the Church leaders rather than the church.
Community building is critical and organized religion has been around forever and served great purposes. It has also done great harm.
I'd say we tax the leaders of the churches over taxking the churches. Leaders of 501(c)3 organizations should be taxed at 90% of any income over say $250K a year.
