Depends on the juristiction.

#Wagetheft is a #felony in #Germany and is one of the things that gets doors kicked in VERY FAST...

Not because the state likes #WorkerRights, but because its also indirect #TaxFraud because lower #income means less #IncomeTax and also less spending that gets #taxed...

Again: #Governments are #capitalist entities and thus will act in their own interest...

@catsalad #taxed

Agree. They can't have it both ways… #churches are NOT the sum of the faithful. They are at best spiritual organizations for like minded individuals. Once they start acting in the #political sphere they are no longer protected and should be #taxed like any other #corporation.
