[Vision2020] Tax Codes

[Randy Petersen]

+ Tax + Tax + Tax.....

The property tax exemption is an acknowledgement by
government of the Separation of Church and State. Since
the Church is limited in their participation in the political
process via their 501(c)3 tax exempt status, they may not
engage in political interchange or lose their tax exempt
status. The Church can not reach into the State and the
State can not reach into the Church. They tried that with
a State Church in Europe. America chose not to have a
State Church. Since taxation with OUT representation was
the basis of the American Revolution and Churches can not
act in the political realm, they are thus non taxable. Their should
be no expectation on the part of the community to receive
any benefit from the Church, ie soup kitchens, homeless
shelters, then there would be if an individual received a
home owners tax exemption, because they used a house
as the primary residence. Also taxing a Church would be
double taxation, as the people who compose the Church
are taxed on sales, income, excise, and realestate already.
The Feds, State, County, and City governments even want
to get their hand in Gods pockets, because  they can't live
within a budget when they expect everyone else too.
