watchdog knows everything

I read an article that was published by watchdog on March 3, 2008. The text was about all properties who do not pay property taxes in Memphis and Shelby county. The institutions which mostly do not pay are property taxes are governmental organizations and churches. There were a lot of institutions listed. From my point of view, it cannot be justified that some institutions have privileges over other private companies. Even though government properties serve the government which is suppost to invest in the citizens but in fact they just try to avoid taxes. The government gives itself the right to avoid taxes in order to minimize the budget which can be used for the citizens. This is not right. It is the same with the churches. They are religious institutions which have good values and use their money for useful goals. But this does not give them the right to avoid property taxes. If all these institutions would accurately pay their taxes probably some other important issues and problems could be solved or improved in Shelby county. Nobody should have privileges over others and everybody should be treated equal for the common better good. The politicians always think that they have special rights and can do what they want.
