The average fulltime pastor gets paid less than $40,000/yr. Fulltime Youth pastor? $24,000. Fulltime Music Pastor? $20,000. The average church has roughly 75 members. With 75 they run food banks, some do housing projects, etc. If you were to tax their income not only would it prevent work from being done in the community, it would literally kill 95% of churches in America.
He's laughing at you all the way to the bank.

One man does not the average make. I like how you pulled out the .01% I admitted do use the church to make money.
How do I know? My dad has been a pastor for 28 years. His best paying church? $86,000 total package including free housing in that, pastoring a church of 650 members. I personally know hundreds of pastors. I have met at best 20 guys who make over $100,000 a year preaching the gospel. The church is not this giant evil entitity soaking up money for the head pastor to be a rich man. Pastors do not even run the finances in churches. They have a treasurer which answers to the board. Which answers to the congregation.
I will say however that if the church did it's biblical job better there would be no need for government run healthcare. I am in no way saying the church is perfect. Just saying the idea that they should pay taxes is ludicrous.
