Some Republicans do want to tweak a portion of their 2017 tax bill that will now force nonprofits, including churches, to pay a 21 percent tax on the value of certain employee benefits. But most others downplay the problem or deny it needs to be addressed.

Tucked away in the new tax law congressional Republicans passed late last year with no Democratic support is a provision slapping certain nonprofits and charities, including houses of worship, with a 21 percent tax on the value of some employee benefits.

The expectation is the tax would relate to parking spaces and public transit passes. But those affected by the provision are genuinely unsure what exactly would qualify as a taxable expense because they still haven’t received official guidance from the Treasury Department.

Is this a good idea or not? While Republicans are saying this isn't going to effect churches and charities, one has to wonder what the real reason the Republicans put this into the tax bill. I would like to believe it was put in there to go after these big NGOs that are just tax havens for the likes of George Soros with his Open Society institute and Hillary Clinton with her 'pay for play' Clinton Foundation. Both those NGOs have evidence of corruption and interfering with sovereign countries. I'm all about taxing the billions donated to these groups.

LATEST NEWS Leaked memo proves George Soros ruled Ukraine in 2014, minutes from “Breakfast with US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt”

We noted in a previous post how important Ukraine was to George Soros, with documents from DC Leaks that show Soros, and his Open Society NGO, scouring the Greek media and political landscape to push the benefits of his Ukraine coup upon a Russian leaning Greek society.

Now more documents, in the massive 2,500 leaked tranche, show the immense power and control Soros had over Ukraine immediately following the illegal Maidan government overthrow.

Soros and his NGO executives held detailed and extensive meetings with just about every actor involved in the Maidan coup…from US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, to Ukraine’s Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Justice, Health, and Education.

But real churches and charities are a different story. Soup kitchens and small churches would definitly get hurt by paying a 21% tax. Like a small rural church with less than 100 members like the one pictured below would probably have to close it doors. A church like that is all about religion and doesn't have a lot of money to spend on fancy stuff. I would not be ok with taxing these types of churches.

Now on the other end of the church spectrum are these mega churches with stadium seating for thousands and millions of dollars in high tech equipment then these churches could probably afford to pay the taxes. I see these new churches in my town and they are more than just a church. They run daycares out of the churches now, have social rooms and even exercising rooms. They are operating more like a business and less like a church but they have the advantage of paying no taxes. That seems like an unfair advantage and I think those parts of the churches should be taxed.

When these NGOs are competing against private business for money and when they take in billions of dollars than its time to tax the shit out of them.
