    How do you reckon we make that happen? Any hope, or are they as powerful as billionaires?

      I’m far less worried about churches paying sales, property, and income taxes than people making tens of billions of dollars a year.

      We’ll get WAY MORE social benefit out of properly taxing the ultra-ultra rich than we will out of the hundreds of thousands of mini-churches who have volunteer receptionists twice a week or even the few hundred mega churches with jet-setting pastors.

      Turn your ire on the bigotry and hypocrisy of a church that attempts to profess love and hate at the same time and out of the same mouth to your heart’s content, but when it comes to money, we need to deal with the robber barons. They’re the ones causing the economic problem.
