Do you think churches and religious organizations should be taxed?
 
The US religion industry is worth $1.2 Trillion a year, more than America's 10 biggest tech companies, combined! boingboing.net/2016/ 09/16/us-religion-is -worth-1-2tyea.html
 
That is literally enough to wipe out poverty in America.

@tapeworm So what your saying is just let the ones stealing and rioting go on.
 
Just tax the Churches and Religion. Give more and make Religion responsible for our country`s Poverty.
 
Soon they will turn on Religion its written.

@tntrecycling So what your saying is just let religious organizations continue to be exempt from the same responsibilities everyone else has. They have the financial power and resources to completely erase hunger but instead do what? Build bigger churches and print pamphlets.
 
Does that seem right to you. Taxing religion is not an attack on religion.

Why not have EVERYONE pay an equal fair share?

@tntrecycling :
 
Absolutely, we should. 8 people, just 8, are as rich as half the world (and these are just the ones we actually know about): www.nytimes.com/apon line/2017/01/16/worl d/europe/ap-eu-davos -inequality.htm
 
That level of inequality is rage-inducing. But guess what, religion should also be held accountable. Lets close all the loop holes.

I don't know why people take the bait on "blanket memes" that someone, somewhere, full of their self-righteousness, throw out on Facebook.
 
So if I go out and get arrested in a full-fledged protest against something President Trump is doing, a protest that gets out of hand and some start rioting, I lose my government benefits.
 
I just love these shallow memes. They're so well-thought out.
