I am not sure what I think about that, on the other hand. I think the overt support of the governor sets a peculiar precedent and you can look for other groups to ask for similar subsidies.Jimpithecushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143519573877156940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-72563589161921304812011-03-11T20:18:56.729-05:002011-03-11T20:18:56.729-05:00Jim, I'm trying to see on what grounds people ...Jim, I'm trying to see on what grounds people could object to the tax breaks (unless one also objects to tax exemption for churches). I suppose one difference is that churches are non-profits and AiG isn't (or is it? I don't know). But in both cases, a religious organization is arguably being subsidized by the government, allowing it to more efficiently spread its message. And perhaps this is even a good thing, although it's sad to think that the Ark Encounter and likeminded organizations are having lots of success spreading their message.Darrylnoreply@blogger.com
