Churches should get tax breaks only on their actual charitable expenses. Sure, give them a tax break on the food they buy for their soup kitchen. But that shiny new fellowship hall, the parking lot expansion, the landscaping, the pastor’s luxury vehicle, the remodeled chapel with marble floors and polished mahogany pews, the golf outings? Nope, nope, nope. Churches are a business and should pay normal business taxes on every dime they rake in unless they can prove it went to help the needy in a material way.
