It's baffling to me that more people don't have a problem w/conditioning tax status on abstention from political speech http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/20/freeing-americas-pulpits-from-government-censorship/ …
@normative When I donate to ACLU membership, I get to deduct it. When I donate to ACLU foundation, I don't. Same should apply in religion.

@emptywheel Right, I find that problematic too. Political speech should not be the distinction bet tax-exempt & taxable... -
@normative But why should the state subsidize political speech? -
@emptywheel It shouldn't per se, but if an entity that otherwise qualifies as exempt loses the exemption for engaging in it...
