If not why? We need more taxes for our country, good place to start
Not for profits and churches should be more closely regulated.
Absolutely yes! They can get lots of tax relief from charity work, but profit must be taxed.
I agree. I don't know what happens outside Europe but in certain countries even bigger amounts of money you want to give a relative are starting to be taxed. On that perspective, I see no reason for the religious entities not to be taxed as well.
yes thing is it would be hard to make them honest and tell the truth about what they take in
I don't know enough to be able to even think of that. Yet not everywhere is the same, so nonsense is sayin' "Should." or "Shouldn't." for all Churches together.
It's not black-white. Maybe you USA people can't see anything outside but as I recently told somewhere USA don't have any religion. Whoever tellin' that Catholicism and Protestantism are valid religions and can be used to determine others is in great misleading.
