Don't hold your breath. It is NOT going to happen. When you post credentials that prove you understand First Amendment law, we can have a discussion. The Con'st'n constrains Americans from every whim. This country is becoming more religious, not less. You can't look at New York, San Francisco, and Berkeley and make conclusions.
Try calling federal legislators and see how far you get. The Jehovah's Witness context forbids it absolutely. No religion will want to be taxed. Also, the govt cannot be excessively entangled. You may not like the law but it is the law.
So if a Church conducts commerce and rasies income as a buisness, I have no problem with taxing them. However I do not believe donations should be taxed.
