Comments on: Florida & The Religious Reich https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/04/07/florida-the-religious-reich/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sun, 09 Apr 2006 02:38:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/04/07/florida-the-religious-reich/comment-page-1/#comment-406 Sun, 09 Apr 2006 02:38:57 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/04/07/florida-the-religious-reich/#comment-406 Governments and churches tend to cluster in county seats and cities which takes a huge bite out of the local tax base. This is one of the problems that many large cities have, large parcels in their property tax area are nontaxable.

It gets to be too much especially when they are competing with local businesses that are paying taxes and being regulated.

I don’t find a problem with not taxing the church, itself. The other things it holds, though, that’s a different story. Properties, other than the church itself, should be taxed… especially, if they’re making money off those other holdings.

Abeka is the publisher of choice for “Christian homeschooling”. They avoided paying taxes for years.

Every large Religious Reich church has audio and video recording facilities that most rock groups would kill for. They manufacture and sell their own videos and CDs. When is the last time you saw copyright notices in hymnals? That’s the norm, as these people have their own music schools for “Christian Rock”.
