There goes that tax free learjet for those mega-church pastors!

Quote:
Religious leaders are slamming the GOP's tax-code rewrite for its requirement that churches, synagogues and other nonprofit organizations start paying a tax on some of the fringe benefits offered to their employees.
Quote:
The tax law says the groups must start paying a 21 percent tax on some benefits, including those for transportation, meals and potentially gym memberships.

Absolutely. Just look at Joel Olsteen and how he lives a life of tax free luxury. Just wondering why the GOP was so secretive about it.

Would that pass a constitutionality test?

First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Should be an interesting fight.

Why would anyone be happy with the state taking in more money on top of trillions it steals from us every year?
Personally I want the same deal the churches have.
