I didn't ask you to subsidize my beliefs, but American has decided that the work non-profits do is worth a tax break.
It would be nice to pick and choose where our taxes go, wouldn't it.
But "I like this belief so they can be tax exempt" has some pretty serious first amendment problems.
I DO think it is worth consideration if ANY non-profit is providing its leadership with massive salaries and benefits -- but it isn't just churches that do this.
