Myth: Amish don't pay taxes. Reality: they pay ALL taxes except one.
What They Pay
Income tax (federal + state). Property tax. Sales tax. School tax (yes — even though children attend their own schools, not public ones).
What They Don't
Social Security and Medicare. Exempt since 1965 (after Valentine Byler case). Condition: community provides for elderly. Amish do: Dawdy Haus, church aid, family.
Irony
Amish pay school tax for schools they don't attend. Pay road tax for roads they use with horses. Don't complain. 'Render unto Caesar.'
