half way.. that's a 50% move .. perhaps a fair way to asses how various religions could function under a tax. i expect we would see some tax income came into the community. on the other hand perhaps all the families who pay their fair tax plus a private school tuition will move the children to public schools. could this is a wash in tax or a penalty to the community? Helping the poor, visiting the sick, feeding the poor, clothing, providing shelter. Soup kitchens, programs that they now run without charge to the local citizenship that would perhaps have to be done by the community under more taxes, does the tax fall on realestate, which will hurt low income and elderly? i would think , which i have not done in any detail why or why not tax churches etc. I would think , someone best conduct a study before presenting such ideas to the table so it can be reviewed. i would expect you may get a big one time taxable income if based on assets, however, that may start a waterfall of sales of assets and closing. We may think most of the properties are highly desirable on the other hand many could be of zero value and where churches are closed or schools closed it could have a detrimental affect on the neighborhood and community.
