The C Street Center


The NYTimes website had this really interesting Op-Ed article about the C Street Center. For those that don't know, this place is inhabited by conservative christian politicians. What is wrong with this picture is that it counts as church, and has extremely large tax breaks. While other problems surround this place, what i view as wrong, and according the article, many other church officials do as well, is that it continues to receive tax breaks when its in fact not a church. In general, tax breaks for religious establishments is wrong. Its essentially setting up a way for anyone to just claim there business or operation as a religious establishment and receive cheap tax breaks. Hopefully, the C Street Center will be made an example of, and along with them, anyone who fakes to receive the breaks.
