[quote=Anonymous]The Founders realized that the power to tax is the power to destroy. They decided that the freedom of religion is so fundamental, and the risk to freedom of religion from being able to tax religions out of existance was so high that they decided not to tax religion. Similarly they thought the roles of the states was so important that states aren't subject to federal taxes. You might think that the Catholic church is wrong on a number of issues and want to tax them, but who is to say that tomorrow the majority doesn't like your religion and wants to tax it at a rate so high that the church can not support itself.
