Tax Florida "Business Churches"
Tax Florida "Business" Churches that make over 33% profit above their demonstrated operating costs and charitable donations or work.
Why is this important?
In an atmosphere of tax cuts and service reductions - fire stations and school being closed - churches remain tax free. While using the same infrastructure that tax paying businesses and taxpayers use - roads, police, firefighters - churches are exempt from paying taxes.
Some churches are clearly for profit business that make money off of their members. These "business churches" do not contribute to the economic well being of the community nor help support the infrastructure. This petition seeks to gain support for a constitutional amendment to the Florida constitution requiring any church that makes over a 33% profit above its demonstrated operating costs and charitable work to pay taxes like other businesses pay.
This is NOT an anti-religion action - it is a pay your fair share action.
