“If Grassley wants to have impact...just write a simple law that says that no church can take in more than $2000 per member per year”
So much for tithing eh. SO much of keeping govt and religion seperate. Now you want to register religious people. Whats next? Perhaps forcing the to wear a cross or star on their jackets?
“These mega churches and the various “services” they are providing...are all taxable organizations in my book. Grassley fails to grasp this and fails to write regulations to rein in this mess.”
Churches provide many many many real and needed services in America. They are onsite during disasters. They hand out food to hungry people. They give counseling to troubled individuals and couples. Your plan would result in the destruction of organized religion. You are either completely ignorant of what it costs to run a church or wish to destroy churches.
