So here is a quandary, I took THIS from MY response off of another group in response to WHAT WE ALL WANT... OR? There is ONLY one downside to SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE within our current cronyistic distorted system of "government", which I can apparently visualize...com// When or IF the (YUK), highly organized church structure whom ALREADY have their finger up and in too many pies-- am not mincing words here-- lose their "tax-free status", they CAN feasibly GAIN more political POWER in the world of fast and loose 'citizen united' politics...com// HOW? --> SO, then the CHURCH is forced to PAY TAXES-- as it should be... However-- this can then be reformulated to be an: "AH HA" NO TAX WITHOUT REPRESENTATION??!!!!! https:// Y I K E S... MAYBE not so very cut and dry, what? Let the pious have at it, then in return in FULL FORCE. https:// Simply think about it... Things can backfire-- big time. https:// I am not one who tends to TRUST any longer in ANY lack of the ability to MANIPULATE "our" system and I SURE DO NOT TRUST the current CABAL. https:// PERHAPS, now, and simply perhaps- period, this is an issue to be looked at in a deeper way in terms of our present Constitutional Laws, first! https:// MAYBE, kind of freaky-scary to wrap one's mind around? But, so has a great deal of what has happened in say, the LAST 50 yrs!!! Nothing is without repercussions, NO?
