But, I am not sure what this has to do with the thread, other than it is a TOTV tradition to segway.
Re: taxes. All think someone else, anyone else but them should pay.

As far as tax free churches, it is not just churches but all religious buildings.

I recall reading years ago, a teacher's group was spreading. One of them was creating paperwork that each was a religious leader, a church and they thus were tax free. The taxman shut them down.

Tax free? There are no shortage of not for profit, charitable businesses where the top people are paid millions.
