Since when is a church a business?
And aren't businesses supposed to pay taxes?
Apparently, billions of dollars earmarked to go to "small businesses" have ended up going to churches, with the Catholic church taking in the biggest haul. Including a cool million for St. Patrick's cathedral.
(As a side note, if you want to light a candle at St. Patty's you have to pay for it. And every time I've been there I've marveled at the amazing architecture and wondered just how many poor people could have been fed and housed with the money spent on all that marble, stained glass, gold, and granite.)
And let's not overlook all of the Mega Churches, aka CoVid Palaces, that are also at the Republican grift trough. Apparently God wants to make sure that his "Holy" Men can afford their Gulfstream jets, custom made suits, and well lacquered pompadours.
So, by all means give them money while mom and pop businesses fall by the wayside.
If that isn't insanely corrupt, I don't know what is.
Of course it's just par for the course with the Most Corrupt Administration In America's History.*
Republicans like to rail against Big Government--but not nearly as much as they like to loot the Treasury of Big Government for their friends.
