No taxes: Offshore assets, foundations, churches!?

I am a church - all life bodies are developed by God.

temples* unite! {not templars or masonic jerks}

peace in business partnership with God the Almighty Universe/s

Or: bring offshore money home, tax foundations & churches - kill loopholes everywhere! - NO SAFE HAVENS!

*body is temple of soul baby

[orthodoxymoron]

You make a good point! If the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (this is biblical)...are we not all individual churches...and thus tax-exempt?

[Humble Janitor]

Churches should be taxed, especially when they get into politics.

True, but filing for 501 (c) (3) tax exemption is not the way of going about it. (Declaring your sovereignty might be.)

I guess declaring sovereignty seems like a lot of paperwork.

And actually, I don't have an objection to taxes DEPENDING where the dollars go. If it's the common good, it's OK. I DO resent the offshore hiding of national wealth, which would make me want to F*K the system too. (It's kind of a system of agreements, faith and a bit of honour, but major earners jump ship, get bail-outs, send money to Switzerland/etc.)

What about the wars? The security infrastructure after 9/11? ... It's like paying to have someone whack your head.

I'm feeling a logic to personal tax exemption based on XXX (?). Unfortunately, it was a little, gnat-size fairy thought - without a whole insight into how it would work! It may just be a dumb idea, swept out with the next tide.

In the meantime, my church name ideas:

1. Church of the Protective Pita Pocket <3Ps!
2. Weird Happenstance of Existence Church
3. Church of the Communion Wafer Beam

In theory, I produce a piece of paper to an employer if I have one, the government, which states that based on s. ^%&^ art. %&^ in tax law, I am able to pay the amount of taxes I choose to pay (donation). Maybe a bit like tithing, or maybe nothing. It's so easy, any one could do it.

Perhaps even like a conscientious objector, where the power and decisions are mine re engagement with levels of government. Or, like I said, chase the offshore wealth, seize it, tax foundations and churches. It would be huge income for governments IMO. Most of cash-moving is actually white-collar crime anyway. Just think: offenders doing time, labour for free, as they're incarcerated.

Voluntary taxes for all.
