This is how millionaires become billionaires and billionaires become multi billionaires. Every business should be taxed, including churches. They are businesses as well.

Each election we're asked to vote on some much-needed tax increase.
And ultra-millionaires & billionaires still have no Wealth Tax.
Proposed Wealth Taxes have been reasonable: from 2 to 6% (Switzerland's is 5%).
Still: nothing.
Meanwhile 90% of taxpayers have seen their wealth & assets decline.

WSJ is for people who nevertheless *earn* their own money by working (even if this work is managing others); many are multi-millionaires but they're not billionaires and they are good enough at math to know they never will be.

The pay for Congresspeople is almost moot as more than half of the Representatives are already multi-millionaires or richer. One of my Dem Reps is worth north of $30m and her husband is worth about $8b. She's there for power, not because she needs the money. Even taking their pay away does little.

Ooh Aid, give it a break, mate. Reform’s backing is totally grassroots, just with the usual village fete donors: hedge funds, millionaires, and a bloke called Tarquin who owns three water companies. Proper people’s party, brought to you by offshore receipts and a gold-plated honesty.
