Does anyone else think it's time to tax the churches?

135. I know alot of priests who drive Beamers and they run a racket

Their " foreign aid" costs are money makers, they always take a big portion of each donation, as overhead costs, lease their rooms for meetings and take tithes. They profit highly from the pulpit and are very often named in wills. Any church that owns land and /or buildings need to be taxed. I suspect any church that works outside the country when there is such a large need here for assistance to poor and homeless. They do not welcome the poor. Political organizations pay them to preach a political choice or they are self pontificating against women having any choice.

The opulence of the Vatican makes me nauseous. They are on the side of the rich who might donate huge sums to them.

As far as non-profits, that is an oxy-moron more often than not. The administrators take home oodles.
