Hey, I don't Know Much About taxing or not taxing the "church buildings".
Haven't Studied it! Don't like Taxes AnyWay :)!
But, if you ever do Tax the Catholic church building, you could Probably Pay Off the National Debt!
What ya Think?

Think about it...churches get their money from their members, who have already paid taxes on that money! They are giving it, not to a company or an individual, but to a non-profit organization, the same as a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter or an organization that feeds hungry kids in Africa. Should those places be taxed, too?

Catholic church isnt as big in the US as it is in other places around the world.
ALL taxes are too high so ANY tax cuts are fine by me. If we had a flat personal tax or a national sales tax then it would be fair for all and none of these issues would matter.
If Hillary gets into office just watch your taxes go sky high. She has already promised this and it is one campaign promise you can be she wont break.
