You can say that about any deduction. Why should taxpayers who aren't Christian subsidize donations to churches?


view as:

I agree that a church should not be broadly exempt from taxation as the current system allows. Perhaps it could be narrowed to only exempt the value of actual goods and services provided to the community (like operating a homeless shelter or soup kitchen)

Why should donations that pay for churches to operate homeless shelters be tax deductible, while taxes that pay for state/city governments to operate homeless shelters aren't tax deductible?

This bill is just a GOP assault on states' rights.
