The recent landing of immigrants from Sri Lanka has sparked a public outcry; why should we be spending money on illegal immigrants when our own people continue to struggle through a recession? Why should we have to shoulder the burden of those who contribute nothing? Well, we already do it, although our politicians are too cowardly to admit it. Luckily, I've no intention of running for office and no problem with speaking my mind.
My suggestion? Tax the churches, tax the mosques, tax the synagogues - property tax and income tax, just like every other business. Refuse the continuation of separate, wasteful school boards when we've a perfectly good one for all comers. Let every pious parasite practice what he preaches and help those who can't help themselves. Support the country that has given you undeserved privilege and demand that the government take its due from Canada's largest untapped resource.
You want our economy to get back on its feet? Collect several billion dollars in one fell swoop and let the religions and the religious finally share in the joy of a modern, secular society. It's what Jesus would do, I'm sure.

I don't see why you can't sign your name to that. You make a logically sound point.
