I think this statement and any other like it is only referring to the tithing that members are paying today. I don't think we know for sure when and where all the money came from that the church used to start investing, but I suppose some of it did come from donations from members 150 years ago. 

I agree.

You are the one calling it a salary when it clearly is not.  What they receive is a remuneration for the expenses they incur for their service. They have given up their past lives and careers and have dedicated all their time for service in the church. If they are not earning money in a regular job how else are they going to live and pay for all they are involved in to lead the church?

Is there anything specifically wrong with paying one leader of the church a salary (taxable) and giving another
leader a remuneration instead?

Thanks,

Nope. But remuneration provided to a church leader can still be called voluntary service, whereas a salary connotes employment in a career to get gain.
Actually they do have to pay taxes on the allowances they get.
