Time to tax the churches.
Religious leaders and politicians in this country are connected by the brazen, barely believable levels of excess they display. It is an excess funded by the collective wealth of the people. They also feed off each other: Politicians make hefty donations to churches with mostly ill-gotten wealth, while the pastors of those churches pray for them.
The people get the leaders they deserve. Unfortunately, common sense dwells with the minority which is why I am not a fan of western styled 'democracy'. Not every idiot should have the same vote as someone whose brain functions.
The question then becomes, who decides the idiot?
I do.
