Alternatives: The salaries and pensions of ministers of religion shall be borne by the State and regulated by the law. The salaries and pensions of ministers of religions shall be regulated by the law, but shall be borne by the religious communities themselves. The remuneration of ministers of religion shall be left up to the local governments. The State does not intervene in the remuneration of ministers of religion. /proposal We would much prefer the "The State does not intervene in the remuneration of ministers of religion." option. Why should the government get involved in deciding how much a church is allowed to pay its ministers? |

| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
