In a surprising move, Christian conservative and Republican leader Mike Huckabee is encouraging churches to give up their tax exempt status. Huckabee issued the following call for churches to unilaterally give up their tax-exempt status via Twitter on June 11:
“It’s time for churches to reject tax exempt status completely; freedom is more important than government financial favors,” tweeted Huckabee.
Mark this day on your calendar, people: Mike Huckabee is right.
Until elected, wherein he makes another Chuck Norris commercial and denounces his previous statements as the work of “hackers on the internets.”
