The idea that if you do, you lose your tax free status is ridiculous. Who came up with that??

This issue didn’t arise until the 1918 period when national income taxes arrived. It’s interesting how people now design a religion....to be a tax-free device, and get away with it, yet serve as a personal enrichment tool.

Satan, his followers, and liberals (the latter two being one in the same)

Heh. Sen. Lyndon Baines Johnson (D) Texas.

I’ll bet you ain’t s’prised.

LBJ inserted it into a bill during the 50’s when he was a Senator.
