Attack of the Theocrats!
While I find it hard to agree with Dr. Zaius on anything, he does have somewhat of a point. If it's a tax break to bring economic benefits to the state and not grant money given, it does seem fair to apply it equally. At least it's not like other religious organisations that will be given tax free status. I can sympathise with a region that has high unemployment wanting to bring in a project that will provide jobs, and being able to tax the money that is fleeced from gullible tourists.
The only really positive thing from my point of view is the national news coverage that will hopefully illuminate more rational people about the crazy ideas that Dr. Zaius promotes.
