In 1954, Congress enacted the clergy housing allowance which allows a church to provide a housing allowance to its minister that is not taxable as income to the minister. The Freedom From Religion Foundation website describes its purpose: “The history of Western civilization shows us that most social and moral progress has been brought about by persons free from religion. In modern times the first to speak out for prison reform, for humane treatment of the mentally ill, for abolition of capital punishment, for women’s right to vote, for death with dignity for the terminally ill, and for the right to choose contraception, sterilization and abortion have been freethinkers, just as they were the first to call for an end to slavery. The Foundation works as an umbrella for those who are free from religion and are committed to the cherished principle of separation of state and church.” Read More.

When I started to read the final tax bill that was signed by the President, I recalled a statement by Abraham Lincoln when a reporter asked him about the losses his party suffered in the mid-term elections. Lincoln said about the boy who stubbed his toe, “I am too big to cry but it hurts too much to laugh.” Read More.

The 2017 tax plan limited to $10,000 the itemized deduction allowed for state and local real estate and personal property taxes and either income taxes or sales taxes (SALT) on itemized income tax returns.
