Inspiration rained down from heaven, and inspired Mrs Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian to create a video for Joni Michell’s song ‘Tax Free.’ The song is a celebration of the financial blessings which shower America’s Conservative Christian industry with tax- free wealth.
You’ll see familiar faces in the video, both from the world of religion and of politics, because as you may have noticed, the two spheres have become nearly inseparable. Religion has become the show business side of politics, and to be successful in the latter, you have to claim to be a believer in the former. Never before have government and religion been quite so chummy. If you question this – don’t pay your taxes next year.
As you know, the IRS believes your money belongs to the government, and that they know how to spend it best. There is only one exception – other than Mitt Romney. Any organization calling itself a church – from Westboro Baptist to Creflo Dollar of World Changers Church gets to keep their money – all of it! It doesn’t matter that Westboro spends theirs harassing grieving families, and ‘World Changers’ fleeces the congregation for Creflo’s luxuries
.The IRS happily kisses off $83.5 billion dollars of missed tax revenue from churches!
What could we do with that much money in the treasury? Maybe we could do some of those zany things that a radical, long haired guy commanded his people to do ‘for the least of them’ two thousand years ago? We could also fill in some potholes – $8.3 billion is a lot of cash!
