Over Three Hundred Ten and Seventy-One Point One Billion Dollars

310+ & 71.1 billion dollars if you live in the US, the belly of the world’s policeman, you live with over 310 tax exempted religions--- that’s over 310 groups of idiots, who get to practice their idiocy without paying taxes--- it’s estimated that the annual amount which is lost by NOT taxing these idiots, is $71.1 billion a year. think for a second just what this country could do with that money. think of the kids that could be educated in schools that have budgets that do not DECREASE every ****ing year, think of the departments in these schools that would not be CUT & think of the teachers who would be gainfully employed & not TERRIFIED of losing their goddamned jobs, so that they could breathe for a moment & spend their time enjoying the process of exchanging information with the future most brilliant minds in the world. do we need to go on about the fact that this money could go on to help fund UNIVERSAL health care for americans & instead of providing further venues for ignorance? do we need to talk about the green energy programs that could be begun with this money to save our species from frying up like crisp bacon? how about the jobs that could come from putting such programs into motion? let it all bubble up in your head while another catholic priest gets dragged out kicking & screaming from behind the vatican curtain for molesting a bunch of little boys. let it all bubble up in your head while another abortion doctor gets shot or a clinic gets blown up to smithereens. let it all bubble up in your head while another self-made messiah rapes his harem of young girls, forcing them to produce his holy spawn on whatever ranch he pleases, wherever he deems it appropriate & the next time stem cell research can save your life or the life of someone you love, make sure you remind yourself how valuable these organizations are.
