    you can report them and get their tax free status taken away

    And remember, that report will go nowhere and you’ll accomplish nothing! The IRS has never gone after a church for this. Never. Reporting them is just as effective as quietly whispering “please tax them” into your pillow at night.

    I wish people would recognize the failures in our system and stop suggesting others do shit that doesn’t actually work.

      Then what do you suggest? You obviously have better ideas? Or do you prefer to just bitch about things and not try to make a change?

      I also wish people would stop saying there’s no hope so do nothing.

      No, record them and send it to the IRS. If nothing happens then fine. Nothing was lost. Along with that work towards change. Telling people the system is broken so do nothing is not going to get you the change you want.
