Description[?]:
| we feel that the legislation that leaves religious institutions free from all taxes is outdated and quite unfair to Cildanian businesses and our citizens. We recognize that most religious institutions provide many services and supports for the local communities they reside in, and thus will not tax the charitable donations they take in; they shall still have their profits taxed as any other private enterprise in Cildania. |

| Message | To treat religious institutions as a special and untouchable entity when it comes to taxation policy elevates them to a protected status above all other private enterprises. To ensure a full separation of our state from religious matters we must tax the profits of these institutions as we would tax the profits of all other institutions. |
