<so how about we talk about taxing scientology? would that get your support? taxing the Jewish faith? Islam? how about that branch Davidians well known for the FBI thing? Johns town? any thoughts?>

Just so you know this is why I thought you were trying to use taxes as a form of punishment. I can't find the quote earlier but I thought the same sentiment was given earlier, with why Christianity isn't taxed when a third of the country doesn't believe in it.

If tax is used as a form of punishment something is wrong in the sitution. It would be better to approach the sitution head on and have the police or some other action involved that directly accounts for any wrong a group or an orginization does or wrong that they protect from correction. Taxing them isn't something to support on that approach. At least not in my opinion.

Moving on to the other underlying theme is that taxing everyone is fair, (not as a punishment to charities disagreed with or that avoid taxes); here is a question for you to consider. Earlier it was mentioned about charities that are used to "donate" to themselves without taxes being an issue. But in fact actually get a deduction in taxes. These aren't religions that cause this but larger cooperations and politicians.

What could be done to how donations are addressed without affecting how we donate to causes that use those donations to serve the community? For instance if I donate to a struggling school, and part of that donation is taxed, what good is being done here? If someone else donates large proceeds to themself and it is taxed, do you think that will stop the issue? And if we distinguish between one good charity and one that's a false charity how do we differing te the difference in legislation?

I still don't like the idea of taxing donations. But if it can be addressed in a way that a birthday gift of money or a wedding gift of money isn't then a suprise tax because it was officially donated, then I might reconsider it more. However as of now a donated amount of money doesn't seem to have a taxable abroad without over reaching what it is trying to address.

Why beat 'em when you can join 'em? L. Ron Hubbard had the right idea; start your own fake religion and cash in. Nobody will lift a finger to stop your scam, because of all the useful idiots arguing against any regulation of your dodgy dealings under the mistaken impression that they're doing God's work.

//how do we differing te the difference in legislation?//

Sorry, can we have that again in English please?

notp-now.soon only in your mind was my tax a punishment, never ever thought of it other than a fair thing that faiths pay tax,in fact if you truly follow a faith it would seem clear every faith proposes we look after the poor, why do faiths become so wealthy? surely they exist in fact to do much like Saint Francis did?is humanity to forever continue to do things in the same way forever? what would be so wrong about reform in the way faiths are seen? Ron L Hubard would like you.
