    Take a good look at this residence and take pride because, as a practical matter, you helped pay for it or, at a minimum, contribute towards its purchase.

    Unless ownership has changed in the past six months, Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) is the owner of this residence. So the residence was purchased with TUCC funds, and TUCC receives those funds without paying income tax on them (as a tax-exempt entity). And donors receive a federal income tax deduction for contributions if they itemize their deductions on their individual returns.

    So enjoy.

Things must be much better in the US of KKA then the good reverend has led is flock to believe in. Too bad I have a conscience, believe in Judea Christian teachings, have a strong work ethic, love of America, and see everyone by who they are instead of the accident of birth deciding their skin pigmentation.
