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.
