5: Fundamental Tax Principles Other Information:
We oppose retroactive taxation; and we condemn attempts by activist judges, at any level of government, to seize the power
of the purse by ordering higher taxes. We oppose tax policies that divide Americans or promote class warfare. Because of the
vital role of religious organizations, charities, and fraternal benevolent societies in fostering benevolence and patriotism,
they should not be subject to taxation, and donations to them should continue to be tax deductible. In any restructuring of
federal taxation, to guard against hypertaxation of the American people, any value added tax or national sales tax must be
tied to the simultaneous repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment, which established the federal income tax.
