By the fact that the US gov'mint pays out $71M out of our tax money to various churches. By the fact that no churches pay the same real estate taxes as I have to for my house. By the fact that as a secular charity I have to waste money filling out reams of paperwork PROVING where the money goes and churches don't have to do anything except lie about it. So altogether there is about a few BILLION that we have to cover cuz they don't!!!
I realise you don't have too much time or even, possibly, too much interest, in what goes on 'over here' but in President Hollande of France you have a man who is really trying hard to implement the sort of socialism that you would advocate so I feel it my duty to keep you posted on the outcomes.

...while covering Cialis, Viagra, etc. for male employees. It's also discriminatory.
