| noname2200 said: That sounds similar to the language already in the Tax Code. I'll have to do some research, but I suspect this language is merely extending the self-employed exemption for Social Security and Medicare taxes for those faiths who are religiously opposed to accepting payments for death/disability etc. It's been in the books for years. |
Here's a few cases regarding religious exemptions for taxation and the like. I think the conscientious objection issue is most pertinent, and that ended up with all conscientious objectors being able to opt out of the draft without regards to their religion or lack thereof. Simply put, the government has no business deciding which religions can opt out of anything and which can't - or that you even have to be religious in order to opt out.
