Would graduated income tithing be better
than a flat 10% tithing?
10% is much harder for poor people than for rich people. |

Or perhaps we could tithe based on "consumption." The "fair tithe." The more you attend church and the temple, the more you have to pay.

I used to tithe when we were dirt poor out of college and we survived. |

How about a limit, like with Social Security taxes?

So donate as much as you can afford. 10% is just a baseline. |

When I read threads like this I sometimes get the feeling that some of you think we get to have some input on these things.

I think I should only have to pay 8% since I didn't attend BYU.
