Activist churches bait IRS, but agency won't bite so far

7. Churches should be treated like the new rules for insurance companies ...

if they don't use 80% of their revenues for needy people, then they should have to endure a penalty

In the old days it seems as if the majority of churches used their money to pay the 'normal' bills and help their communities.

Nowadays MANY churches spend MANY MILLIONS on TV airtime, mansions, expensive cars, expensive jewelry, etc.

I think it is time to redefine what a 'church' is and what money is actually exempt from taxes.

And if they are going to preach politics from the pulpit then they should lose ALL of the tax exempt status.
