IRS says churches whose pastors endorse candidates from pulpit shouldn't lose tax-exempt status
The IRS said in a court filing that churches whose pastors endorse political candidates from the pulpit shouldn't lose their tax-exempt status.
(Even though it is the law)
It's not like they ever enforced the rule anyway. Last I checked it's only happened once in the 90s.
Yes, but like many things, have to remove ignored laws before breaking other norms.
This is paving the way for churches to be part of militia groups
(Tax free armed groups openly sponsored by large churches)
How is this any different then the Govt still taking our tax dollars while only pushing policies that hurt Americans...churchs don't pay tax so of course they should have say.
I agree that Churches shouldn’t have a say, but paying federal taxes isn’t what gives someone a say in politics. “Taxpayer dollars” is terrible framing. In fact, federal taxes don’t pay for anything at all.
