Yeah but make it painful.... religion gets to run their scam because they are not supposed to directly involve themselves in government, especially not dictate social morals.
Of course there is the argument that religion has always been a part of government, but never directly has ....
.wow, I am surely dense for just realizing it, but there are unscrupulous folks who are utilizing religion as the vehicle to unwind every single middle class social advancement since the new deal and the Great depression both social and racial.
We're headed towards another Great depression (I fear) and the right seems to be doing all they can to ensure that we stays subservient to the few that can pay us.
Having spent the last 30+ years in a very racially/economically diverse area, the "monochromatic" future some folks desperately desire is really gross and makes me disappointed in a bunch of people...open your minds....life is significantly more fun with variety.
Sorry didn't mean to rant, I agree too, but I think they should Super pay.
So a religious pressure group should pay more tax than an ordinary right wing group or a leftist group? Isn't that religious discrimination? What if they're humanists
