The article says “No person may be compelled to pay any taxes the proceeds of which etc.” If my amendment is accepted, it would read like this: “No person may be compelled to pay any taxes on any income etc.” Sir, taxes are paid not on the proceeds, but on the income. Proceeds rather imply the gross receipts. Taxes do not apply to proceeds, but really to income. In fact, there is the further limitation of this ‘proceeds’ which are specifically appropriated for payment of the expenses for the promotion or maintenance of any particular religious or charitable denomination.
