Zack Smith made a great point in his Monday column, “Planned Parenthood’s funds need a trim.” Not everything the government pays for is supported by every citizen of this nation. I personally do not support the wars our country is currently fighting nor do I support giving tax exemption to churches.
If his worry is the deficit, I have a solution. Let’s tax wealthy churches who get free property and tax exemption while their pastors become rich. I’m not a Christian, so why should I have to pay taxes when they don’t?
If the government were to cancel everything someone opposes, we wouldn’t have any social programs, and chances are we wouldn’t have a government.
