Amish tax case to be decided by federal judge
Amish farmer Ed Lee faces possible loss of his 25 acre farm as federal district court in Pittsburgh weighs whether his Old Order beliefs exempt him from Social Security and other payroll taxes. Attorney Caiazza argues religious liberty, while government contends taxes fund social welfare programs. The outcome hinges on First Amendment protections versus tax law and public welfare interests.
