OrionStang Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Was just thinking, why not make the pay for active duty military completely tax free? The pay is so low, and these people (not all, but many of them) sacrifice so much. We get dicked once we're out, so why not take more care while they're in? What do you guys think? Just something to shoot the shit on. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I would support that. I know here in MI active duty military personnel don't have to pay state taxes. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

boometro Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 but why? not every active person in the military is getting paid complete shit. i do respect the persons that are serving and have served. the ones that are serving made the decision to serve. i hope the did not decide to do it because they wanted a bunch of tax breaks and random discounts. sorry if i hit a nerve with members.

Those people are the reason you even have the ability to freely speak your opinion, most of them get paid shit especially when you consider the fact that they are on call 24/7 365. A newly enlisted person makes considerably less than minimum wage when you break down their pay.

n8ball2013 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The large majority of them get paid shit.

They obviously didn't enlist for tax breaks since there currently are none, minus combat pay. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 You may be onto something though, many would try to get in JUST for that. Recruiters would need to step their game up. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Even if you give them the tax breaks the pay is still shit, you could make more at a minimum wage full time job.

Second Skin Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Great Idea Orion, I was dumb founded that the money I was being paid with (which had already been taxed when tax payers earned it) was taxed again when given to us as a salary, all so we can be taxed again when we spend it Seems like the government is always dipping into our cash whenever possible.
