remove the tax exempt status of churches and religious groups

Created by J.D. on February 07, 2013

we the people wish to have churches taxed like any other business. If a business can be taxed, why shouldn't a church be? It's a business too, It uses common utilities, infrastructure, and so on. Why should that type of business be excluded? If they want to be a club with no property, maybe no taxation needed. But if they own a block of real estate and use the roads, police, fire, rescue, and other infrastructure, they should pay similar taxes to any other business. why should they be tax exempt and while others pay taxes and actually give back to the community.
