C'mon dude. I don't mean to start this up again, but that's not true.
Source: Growing up with and constantly being around mormons my entire life, and being extremely acquainted with how the system works.
Point 1: It's not true? Which is why each member of the church is supposed to pledge 10% of their income to the church, little to none of which is put towards any philanthropic efforts. Instead, it is spent to build multimillion dollar shopping malls in downtown SLC, pay enforcers for political candidates, and rig elections. Don't believe me? Check out City Creek and look into the recent political scandals in Utah. Oh should I also mention how that same fund was used to purchase a large share in the Pepsi corporation, then, suddenly, caffeine was acceptable to drink? I could go on for days, but I digress.
Point 2: Being inside a system isn't how one observes it, observing from an outside vantage point is how things are learned. Do you think that going to temple every week and being around a large group of brainwashed inbred desert folk really educates you on how things are done? Hell, they leave out parts of the book these days from sermons simply because they know people will leave the church if they hear the horseshit written inside the book.
Someday I hope you free yourself from the masonic "religion" that you pledge your heart and soul into. Yes, both Smith and Young were Freemasons and had masonic funds backing the start up of the religion. Read some history, you might learn something or another.
