Del,

<< Churches and other currently tax exempt organizations should not be exempt. They have been getting a subsidy long enough.>>

The reason they are not taxed is because the power to tax is also recognized as the power to destroy. Tax exempt status is not a subsidy. It would be the government interfering with the 1st amendment to tax churches. It would be government interfering in the establishment of religion. Making it harder for churches to survive is unconstitutional. Freedom of religion along with freedom of speech are the premiere rights, first on the list. And they are both intertwined. There cannot be one without the other, freedom of religion and freedom of speech. You are always giving in to your hate,Del, and continuing your journey to the dark side. ggg. The Emperor awaits you!! (tongue in cheek)
