Reply #90: I miss the logic behind why non-profits need to be taxed. [View All]

Churches are now allowed to accumulate great wealth at tax payer expense. Why???? Many churches today preach politics from the pulpit. The Catholic and Mormon Churches spend huge amounts of money on influencing legislation. I am ok giving that portion of their organization that does charity work tax breaks. But no tax breaks for them to expand their wealth. The Catholic Church is one of the richest organizations in the world and uses it's wealth to promote their agenda while some of their members live in poverty.
