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

    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.
