    I don't care how rich he is. Yeah, become President. No problemo. But, as a Mormon, you'd better be tithing that 10 percent!! You dig?

    He has a net worth of about 1/4 what John Kerry's net worth.

    He has a net worth about 10x what GW Bush's net worth.

    Most of that is to his church which has a minimum tithing requirement

    True, but it's not exactly a choice if it's a requirement.

    The mormon church is nothing more than a tax dodge. Donations are secretly funneled back to the givers in probably the longest running money-laundering schemes ever.

    Wow that's some serious accusations. Do you have anything other than your word? I'm not mormon. I've never heard that.

    A "mormon" couple told me this back in 1975 while giving me a ride as I hitchhiked to the Tetons. They said they weren't actually religious at all but in mormon country like Idaho and Utah only mormons prosper so they "played the game". Non-mormons will not get good jobs, will not advance in their careers, and eventually move away. It's like a secret club that runs pretty much everything in the state through it's members, who do a large part of their day-to-day business on a barter and handshake so as to avoid any record of taxable transactions. They do work for their neighbor (build a barn?) for free as "a charitable donation" and another neighbor does the same for them. Nobody pays taxes on the work and both families get the deduction.

    Wow insane if true. Those mormons are some pretty smart fellas! I know very little about the mormon faith; so I can't say you are wrong or right.

    But being accused and actually guilty are two different things.

    bless you bother jlprk, you are one mighty and strong. No doubt that you'll be pleased to find that Utah also leads the nation in porn consumption and is top 10 in suicide!
