Homeless speak out against police crackdown

“Oh, waah, waah, waah!!!”

Great debating skills.

“You obviously only want to “tax” which really means control the activities of, churches that don’t follow your political ideology, which seems, from your rantings above”

I was simply stating my side of this argument, you seem to be the one ranting. I don’t want to control their activities. Try to read this very slowly. I feel that we should at least make these filthy rich entities pay property taxes then they can do what ever they want. They are rolling in $$$ and yet they are non profits, do you not see a conflict there or are so blinded in your ideology that you can’t see that?

“OK, then, let’s do it your way. I want to tax the heck out of “Reverend” Wright’s Church of the Anti-American Jesus; you know, the one who screams “G-D America!!””

Absolutely, tax that church. Or do you just want to tax that church because you are so full of hate for them? Tax all churches including the ones that you HATE.

“Maybe it’s none of your business how much the Catholic Church has in its coffers, and anyway, the Church does do a lot to help the poor. I guess you didn’t consider that the Catholic Church is running programs in Asia, Africa and Central and South America; by comparison poor people in the U.S. have it pretty good compared to those places, so maybe the Church is doing more abroad than you see here.”

It is my business.

For the most part they are going to those countries to ‘spread the word’ as to gain even more followers/money. But that being said what about charity begins at home. We have a huge homeless population that could benefit from at least using their parking lots to park their cars and sleep in. Geez, is that asking that much? Are they afraid that that might have to earn some of that tax exempt money by sending a few nuns out to clean the parking lots the next day? I must clarify that I do realize that some churches do good work and that I do appreciate them going to help other countries to help those in need when that is what they are really doing and that is what their true motive are. If that is their true motive and what they are spending their money on then I have no problem making those missions tax exempt. But unless they are at least weekly having soup kitchens or something else on their properties that benefits all denominations then they should at least pay property taxes.

“And again, you’re not “paying” for anything. You just want to get your lazy hands on someone else’s money and use it to do what YOU want to do.”

I am paying, what’s wrong with you? They aren’t paying taxes that means that we pay more taxes to compensate for their tax exemption. If their were lets say a supermarket where one of these churches sits then we’d be getting tax money from that business which lowers our taxes or benefits our communities.

“Screw you. You’re an idiot.”

How very ‘Christian’ of you. Praise the lord. Ted, slowerfaster, a member of your flock has gone astray. Just thank goodness you didn’t call me a virus, your post would have been booted off.

“Go get your own money and leave everyone else alone.”

Yep, that’s what my entire message in this discussion with you is about, getting my money. You give what you want to your cults, no one is stopping you but your church should pay taxes because they are making huge profits and funding political candidates.

“You need a hobby, or a pet, or someone to service you, or something, but you sure need to shut the f**k up.”

Bless you, is that from your Bible? BTW, thanks for validating another reason for me have chosen to not believe in any cults. Your post was pretty nasty. Try taking a debating class. There’s a difference between a bit sarcasim and low life nastiness. You haven’t given any type of intelligent debate to this argument. You are unable to give any argument to justify your side of this issue, not even a stupid argument, you simply went on a crazy hate infested tangent.
