Everyone who enabled Trump — doctors, lawyers, Republican legislators — should be held accountable

The campaign contributions alone should be the signifier that they should lose tax exempt status. They get the tax break because they are supposed to use the money to fulfill their charitable missions. Buying Joel Osteen a luxury car should count as embezzlement of church funds if there is a single homeless person or starving person in the vicinity of a church. Or like those preachers who had to have a private jet so they don't have sit with the demons aka people who can afford a first class tocket (and presumably some of their own parishoners would be included in that, but surely no not I, they are talking about the other demons.)

How much money the church rakes in through tithing is a moot point. It has nothing to do with how much they make. It has everything to do with how theybutiloze the money, and if they remain a seperate entity from the state. They shouldnt even be telling their parishoners how to vote, regardless of party.
