27. MILITARY INCOME TAXES: I will propose, and “will
demand” a new law that all military personnel, (below the rank of General, or
any desk bound high level rank military), and spouses, not owe “any” income
taxes, while on ACTIVE duty.
Then after serving at least 10
years, (or any amount of time actually engaged in Armed Combat), (or their
family survivor’s if they die while engaged in combat), and discharged, or
retiring, they will have a 25% reduction in income taxes for the rest of
their life.
After 20 years
service a 50% reduction in income taxes.
After 30 years
service 100% excused from “any” further income taxes for life.
For any service person that
becomes disabled while in the service, ie: the loss of one or more appendages, or
high level of disablement, will not owe any income taxes the rest of their
life. They have already paid too much to protect our nation.
This will also holds so for surviving spouse, with the service
persons children, (unless the spouse remarries), if the spouse has personal
income this will be included in this proposal too), and their children tax free
up to the age of 30, to compensate for the loss of the family provider, and
mentor.
The children of a “service
person who died in Combat” will have a 50% reduction in Income taxes for
the rest of their life, to compensate for the loss of what that parent could
have done to have enriched their lives.
This
is the least we can do for those who have risked, and all to often given their
life to protect our nation.
