Yes! Churches should have to pay property taxes. It could solve this country’s financial woes. Every county in every state in the U.S.A. would benefit greatly, which would help the people with lowered taxes.

“Congress shall make NO law respecting the establishment of religion…” means No legislature shall make a law which respects the establishment of religion. Religious educational institutions should not receive educational funds collected in the name of providing a free and public education to Florida’s students. In the 1960′s religious schools were created to preserve segregation. Vote No on any amendment proposed by the this state legislature.

Religious entities should pay property taxes on property their secondary functions, such as schools or day care centers. The congregation already takes a tax reduction on their donations, so why should the religious organization get the benefit of two tax deductions.

I couldn’t agree more! Religion needs to be relegated to a position of less importance and, certainly NOT subsidized by the U. S. Government! Why do we need to continue to allow them tax exempt status? ALL religions rake in more money than the wealthiest corporations. I don’t believe in religion, needless to say–so I really don’t want MY money going to such bogus causes! Let each religions’ followers donate– the way it’s been forever. Seems fairer than forcing those who don’t condone, belong, or participate to “donate” their tax dollars!
