Everything has always been taxed more than once.  |

Why Zig? I feel 100% opposite. It has been fairly taxed.
The reasoning (I think) is that pretty much any dollar that is taxed in any way has already been taxed in some way at some point, so the notion that "it's already been taxed" is a bit of a red herring. We tax transfers at many different levels.

I understand that Yuki, but we are talking about charity.
And what are some real examples of where a church should be taxed?
I know wages paid out of donations are taxed, like any other wage.

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

This. Taxes are transaction-based. We couldn't possibly tax only once if we wanted to unless every dollar was destroyed after it was taxed.
There are valid reasons for tax exemptions. "It has already been taxed" is not one of them. The same could be said for any form of tax, and usually is whenever somebody tries to get a tax repealed.

Do church-run bookstores have to remit sales tax to the state on sales they make? I honestly do not know.

I see your point.
And, no I am not even close to mad. I am almost always at an even keel.
It's hard to be mad at anything that involves logic. Everyone had different opinions and it's a good thing.
If I ask a question, it is not to be argumentive, I have a sincere interest.

Of which, how much would you be taxed?
Significantly less than you.
