TEACHER
People
say they want decent public education, but it's no secret that teacher
salaries are hardly commensurate with this stated goal. Many go without
contracts for years, and essential programs like art, music, and
sports are perenially cut. Powerful churches
grow richer every day,
while
those
of us who can
least
afford
to do so cover their tax obligations.
No
one is asking you to abandon your church. You will be better able
to financially support whatever institutions you wish with the extra
money you'll have when your own property
taxes
go down. Next
time you look at your pay stub, give some some serious thought to
exactly what your taxes are subsidizing.
WE
DO NOT WANT YOUR MONEY. SERIOUSLY.
WE
WANT YOU TO DO THIS: Next
time Congress is looking for another $20 billion a year to finance
a war, tell them to look no further than income tax on religious
payroll. Tell them today. And
let them know you intend to vote accordingly.
