Less than 1% of our country’s population writes a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount up to and including his or her own life. As a minimum, our active duty and retired service members should not have to pay federal taxes.
Additionally, children of active duty service members should never have to pay out of state tuition costs. They should be granted in-state tuition. When military families with kids in high school have to relocate to a new assignment, if their HS graduate decides to attend a school outside of the state a service member is assigned, they should not be penalized with excessive costs due to a relocation. This causes such a hardship on our military families. We owe these heroes and their families so much more to include better pay and benefits.
