And isn`t THAT a pisser! It seems to me that if the Christian fund-
amentalists, Mormans, or whoever, want to play the political game, and
have the ability to propose changes to the state constitution, then
they should also pay taxes like everyone else. Isn't the Catholic
church one of the biggest money making organizations in the world?
It would be a sizable chunk of money fed directly into federal and
state coffers if religous organizations like those behind CFV had to
pay Uncle Sam, state and local taxes. It might take enough money out
of their seemingly overflowing propaganda, I mean, campaign fund to
at least make them think twice before they launch an attack on in-
dividual rights.
