I would love a church tax here. Would like to see how many of the "religious" politicians would pay the tax to keep up the charade.
You misunderstand. Church tax in Germany means that the state is the tax collector for the church. Every individual registered as either catholic or protestant has to pay.
The church itself gets a certain tax exemption and so on. The only theoretical advantage is that the churches are a part of Bureaucracy and somewhat accountable. But as I said theoretically.
yeah but if a politician says they are catholic or protestant they have to pay the tax. If we had this system here and there was an evangelical tax you bet way less politicians would say they were that. unless they allowed it paid out of campaign funds.
