    When I said “solution”, the problem I was talking about was how unfair it is that religious groups get tax exempt status despite doing nothing to earn that, and a lot to prove they should be taxed. I never said that suddenly we could feed and house all the homeless with those tax dollars

      Post and my comment are about homelessness. Categorically, neither the post nor my comment were about taxes. So you changed the subject without even indicating you were doing so. 🙄

      Awesome cool thank you for your contribution. But yeah glad to see we agree on an entirely tangentially related topic.

      Edit: You are free to discuss taxes. But stop trying to frame it as a disagreement with my position which had nothing to do with taxes. Do it elsewhere where relevant.

        The post is about the contradiction between homeless people getting the shaft while churches get handouts. There was no change of subject, you just set your focus narrowly and apparently decided anyone outside that would be wrong in multiple ways.

          Misinformation. Churches do not get handouts.

          Corporations do.

            Not getting taxed while taking in revenue is a handout. Not sure why you’re so insistent on arguing.

            You’re adamant that your random subjective reading if the post is the only valid one and it’s not. It’s weird you want to insist it is
