Disabled Veterans of this great nation do not have their disability pay taxed. However, all Veterans pay taxes on their retired pay. The funds used to pay Veteran retiree pay has already gone through several rounds of taxation. Please REMOVE TAXES FOR RETIRED VETERAN’S PAY. Many retired Veterans have to continue working in the private sector to make ends meet, even after they are eligible to receive Medicare. This is a consequence of young families not being able to afford homes, educational expenses, medical insurance expenses, etc., etc., ad nauseam, and so many of them have to rely on their retired Veteran parents for a decent place to live and to raise their children. Having the retiree pay of retired Veterans be tax-free would make a significant difference in their lives, and in the lives of their families.
I whole heartedly agree. It makes no sense that as veterans who have wrote the blank check to this county, that doesn’t expire, we have to pay taxes on the sad little amount we get in retirement.
Please support this. I would rather not have to pay taxes on this than get a 10%discount at Lowe’s!!
