1) these guys pay taxes too
2) nobody is forcing anybody to give to their churches - so in a sense they are like Jay-Z. They do their little rap song and dance every week and people put money in their plate. If the people who give money to support them did not feel they were getting a benefit, they would lose support. People would stop going to their church, people would stop giving money. They simply have a lot of people giving them a lot of money. Chances are, they are better than average preachers at least as far as being interesting and entertaining goes.

Still, that being said

Ezekiel 34: 1-4
