The funny thing is you apparently think that I believe churches should stay tax exempt. I don't really care if they are or not, if they were they'd likely just set up separate organizations for their charity work so people could donate directly. I'm just trying to show you how your definition of what constitutes a "non-profit" and a "charity" and a "service" are skewed and hypocritical.

CF - I was making a joke - sort of. I truly don't understand what makes a non-profit/not-for profit company. I interviewed for a job with a non-profit engineering company. I asked the owner "do you get paid?" and he said, "Of course I do." So how is that different from a for-profit engineering company? I'm just confused.

Personally I don't think that artist groups should be tax exempt at all. They're an entertainment venue, not public service providers.

The head of the Red Cross gets a million a year. Are they non-profit?
