Now Dave…be clear…

filed suit to challenge a local practice which
exempted ministers, priests, rabbis, mullah’s and other clerics from
complying with state law

This was a “local” practice and obviously was wrong.

ALL ministers are considered to be “self employed” and are subject to the 17% self employment tax…

Dave…how much tax does AA pay…?
How much tax does Ellen pay on her 38,000.00 salary…?

What’s your compensation from AA and what taxes do you pay…?
