I don't know how you feel, but I'm pretty sick of church people. You know what they ought to do with churches? Tax them. If holy people are so interested in politics, government, and public policy, let them pay the price of admission like everybody else. The Catholic Church alone could wipe out the national debt if all you did was tax their real estate.George Carlin
About This Quote
What this person is trying to say is that churches should not be subsidized by the government. Some believe that the church should be kept separate from the political process and be left to govern itself. However, this person does not agree and believes that the church should pay taxes like everyone else. He is making a very valid point and has a very valid argument.
I do not need my taxes to be used for giving out freebies to those who do not deserve them. I am sure that this person does not agree with me, but he is right.
