In 1894 Congress passed a flat rate federal income tax that was ruled unconstitutional the following year. To qualify for this rare exception of charity through churches plays a big part in democracy. Now is the right time for churches to come forward for charity by reducing the burden of taxes falling on the average tax payer. In 1954 Texan Senator Lydon B. Johnson introduced an amendment to allow churches tax-free property tax. Donations to churches are also tax exempt. Now Republicans led by POTUS, allow preachers and churches to support political candidates from the pulpit or through any outlet possible for partisan politics. Tax-free exemptions are substantial gifts of money at the expense on the shoulders of federal tax payers doing their duty as patriots sharing a common expense to their nation, The Catholic Church is the richest religious institutional in the World–the money-makers. The United States has had eons of years of church tax exemptions that has turned the government into a theocracy. Many of those who are made to share income tax are atheists and agnostics. And these people are not sinners according to church authoritarians. Now there are rich mega-churches with powerful preachers castings stones against those who do mot accept mythological dogma. There is no balance or justice when it comes to ancient history.
"No church property is taxed so the infidel and the atheist and the man without religion are taxed to make up the deficit in public income thus caused."
