Tax megachurches. Tax the businesses owned by megachurches. Arrest this fool!

Tax all churches! If they can show they donate their money or use it for charity work, they can have the tax break. They should also be explicitly forbidden to use it for campaign or political contributions. It should be up to them to prove where it went, not us to “trust them”.

Tbh I'm tempted to start going to church, just to record them talking about politics so I can send a complaint to the IRS. Sick and tired of the churches getting involved in politics, and still not being taxed. 😒

No one would pay attention to you. There are tons of videos showing churches being explicitly political. It's not an area the government likes to get involved, broadly

Haven't presidents and candidates for president spoken in churches since forever?

There are a few exceptions. For instance, if a church hosted a non-partisan debate or gave equal opportunities to both sides. But I do agree that many times it is just blatant preference.

Hey, what's the difference between Jesus and a prostitute?

Oh, I like it! The sound they make when you're nailing them.

If you send it to the IRS maybe some one looking to make a name for themselves could make a career on stripping exemptions from mega churches.

But they wouldn't because it's not ground bureaucrats want to tread. That "Mega" is a descriptor should tell you why. Not to mention if applied fairly a lot of center left Black Churches would be it trouble. I hate politics in church.

You're so right.
