Oh, c'mon!  That's the old, tired, liberal notion that all wealth
belongs to the government and the IRS, in it beneficence, let's us poor
taxpayers keep some of it.

Neither your taxes nor my taxes goes to support any church.

Oh, c'mon! That's the old, liberal notion that all property (real and
otherwise) belongs to the state and the IRS, in its beneficence, lets the
