It's a beneficence. It's a license. Walz says it's a legislative question, a political question, not a constitutional one. The court unfortunately filled that decision with a lot of dicta that's not binding on us, that basically says America has a tradition of supporting or helping or encouraging religion. It doesn't include us, though, you see.
Tax exemption is a political question up to the legislature.
The legislature of Colorado had over twenty statutes granting exemptions, where constitutionally it only allows four. My idea of who should be exempt and who should not came from Robert Green Ingersoll. One night I was reading Ingersoll while right in the middle of this debate over how to write this initiative over tax exemption. When we aid an orphan, we are not engaging in charity. We are doing it for our own sakes, it is something we must do for our own humanity.
