Forced charity creates resentment in the giver. Maybe people just feel like the government takes enough of their money that they should be doing something productive with it. Your decision to hold the church responsible because it asks members to pay tithes and fast offerings strikes me as rather irrational.
That's why they hold bonds. I say they have a bond vote in Utah County. See how they feel about people freezing to death and let it be written in the book of Life.
