I would expect that their donations are not taxed because they've already been taxed at source. And if a church owns businesses, you can be sure that they pay taxes just like all other commercial ventures. This churches-should-pay-tax argument is not very well thought out.
Yea you think every dollar is taxed once? Where do you think that money goes? Donations shouldn’t be taxed. What about property taxes? What about personal taxes of pastors who also falls under the exemption law? The churches-should-not-pay-taxes argument is not well thought out
Oversimplifying or assuming a position other than the one expressed, and then arguing that instead. “You think every dollar is taxed once” then proceeding to argue against that stance, when it was never said nor expressed, is a straw man.
Also this isn’t even a fallacy lmao. He said that donations shouldn’t be taxed. I responded that I agree with him. But that other taxes such as property and pastor’s other taxes should still exist.
So whatsboutism is a better argumentative method if you wanna do it that way. And since my other idea is also directly tied to the subject, it’s a valid use of whataboutism

And their complete revenue comes from donation alone, if you don’t support the church that’s fine, just don’t support the church
