Yes of course, because most of them benefit from our under employment and low wages!

It is amazing to me just how far locals will bend tax laws to accommodate jobs that pay low wages and few benefits to their workers. And they pat themselves on the back for creating jobs where the workers will still qualify for food stamps and Medicaid payments.

Idaho is and will remain the land of low paying jobs, cheap housing and cheap dirt due to this mentality. 4 in 10 high school grads. will go on to college and 1 will make it to graduation. It would be interesting to know how many Idaho College grads actually find jobs here in the Gem State.

Underemployment is endemic in this state but few in the legislature are willing to acknowledge that fact.

Governor vetoed the so-called “Bujak” law because lawmakers failed to pass a trailer bill to appropriate the $212,000 needed to hire extra deputy AG and investigator. Hopefully next legislative session will correct the problem so that the AG’s office can assume the oversight of county official misdeeds instead of conflicted county prosecutors.

All Doctors offices. especially the ones who refuse medicare/medicaid

All Hospitals, clinics and any subsidiary thereof.

All houses of worship (church, temple, synagogue, mosque, etc.)

Corporations who bully legislatures into tax law changes just because they don’t like to pay and no they are not people, or they can begin to pay the income taxes they try and avoid. You know like Walmart.

Corporate farms and dairies.

Companies like Chobani in Twin Falls who so far has cost the Idaho taxpayer over 54-million dollars. Source: http://stateimpact.npr.org/idaho/2012/12/17/chobani-opens-twin-falls-yogurt-facility-today-but-at-what-cost-to-taxpayers/
and they have provided less jobs and less pay than they have claimed. It will also be 10+ years before the state or region sees the projected $1.3-Billion.

Any organization that claims tax exemption, but discriminates on age, origin, race, religion, sex, or even sexual orientation. Including organizations which discriminate against people with disabilities. In Idaho there is no such thing as “reasonable accommodation” just discrimination.

And, while we’re at it, if Corporations are people, let’s do away with Corporate taxes and have the personal tax rates apply to all.

I say tax all churches and their property just like the average citizen gets taxed. They all need to quit playing “hide the ball” with us.
