The IRS said in a court filing that churches whose pastors endorse political candidates from the pulpit shouldn't lose their tax-exempt status.

    How is this any different then the Govt still taking our tax dollars while only pushing policies that hurt Americans…churchs don’t pay tax so of course they should have say.

      I agree that Churches shouldn’t have a say, but paying federal taxes isn’t what gives someone a say in politics. “Taxpayer dollars” is terrible framing. In fact, federal taxes don’t pay for anything at all.
