I don't. If Apple makes 25 millions they pay 10 million in taxes, to help fund safe roads, staffed schools, fire and police protection for thier communities. As it should be, and I'm not jealous of that.
I DO hold charlatans like Billy in disdain, as when they make 25 million, they pay ZERO in taxes.
Do you understand why taxing a non religious corporation 10 million and letting the religious corporation pay zero on the same profit would seem unfair to persons without faith???
I agree that Going through life being concerned about "what every one else does or doesn't do" is an unhealthy existence
But Billy lobbied his whole life to make sure his kids and the Joel Olsteens of the world continue to pay zero dollars on 25 million in profits.....that's a scumbag's legacy. I don't envision myself harping about a $30k a year preacher paying zero in income tax while the $30,000 a year auto mechanic pays $6 or $8k (even though we both know thats BS too). But Billy paid zero on 25 mil....it deserves to be brought to attention. And if you werne't Christian yourself, me pointing that out wouldn't bother you at all whatsoever.
