The Cost of Doing Business

There's an estimated $7 billion in tithing that comes to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints every year through their 17 million estimated members. There are all kinds of rules that deal with like how any organization pays taxes, even if you have an exemption of some sort the way a religion would. The current fines or punishments for avoiding taxation usually can be rationalized as a cost of doing business. And it is just considered right and proper business to move these things around.
