For the past 30 years, a debate has raged over the whether or not churches should pay taxes. Proponents often argue that churches do many good works, including attending to the needs of the less fortunate in society. Opponents point to the massive money reserves and real estate holdings of many churches, all of which is tax-free. What do you think?
For this in-class assignment, you will utilize the Toulmin Model to construct a rhetorically-sound claim for or against churches paying taxes. This claim will be supported by two distinct sets (I & II) of grounds, warrants, backings, etc.
Use THIS template to present your claim in outline form.
