41. Thot u ot to know
A preacher buys or is given land, 100 acres for example. A small church is built and a house for preacher who farms a bit of the land and sells and uses the product. The church may or may not prosper but no taxes are paid on any part of this, and a decade later the property value alone has increased to quarter of a million per 5 acres! Now it is time to sell and put some of the money into a small but beautiful church in downtown where more people see it and come to join. the congregation grows quickly and the church prospers. Still no taxes! Once again it is time to move on and the minister sells out to the established church.
The preacher began his calling at age 27 and is now 45 and a multi- millionaire who can run for public office and even become president in another decade! Just like most millionaire politicians, he really knows about the wage earner who has paid taxes all through life.
