Moron the "trump tax law" - and that's not a typo.

A priest, a minister and a rabbi get free parking spots …. and the Trump tax law makes their congregations pay! We’re not joking.

WASHINGTON — Suburban Torah in Livingston offers free parking for its employees.

Under the Republican tax law signed by President President Donald Trump, the synagogue soon will have to pay taxes for providing this “benefit.”

“I really doubt anybody thought that when a secretary parked her car at our synagogue, that would be a taxable event,” said Suburban Torah’s rabbi, Elie Mischel.

But it is.

In addition to targeting New Jersey and other high-tax states by capping the federal deduction for state and local taxes, the tax legislation signed into law in December 2017 imposed a 21-percent tax on the value of fringe benefits that houses of worship and charities offer their employees."

Moron this at the link - and again - that's not a typo.
