Should all United States Military Veterans be tax exempt?

I’m not sure what other states have in place but in Oklahoma you have to be 100% disabled to be tax exempt. I’ve talked to veterans who are 75 percent, 40 percent, 90 percent, etc. Hell, IMO, anyone who serves our country deserves not to pay any taxes.

What really determines a certain percentage at a given time? As you get older, I guess the percentage can increase based on the severity of said condition?

I just wish there wasn’t any obstacles. You served our country? Fantastic! No taxes for you ever again!

Political hacks like Mark Milley should be taxed

If we aren’t going to tax veterans what other groups will we not tax. Veterans get a ton of benefits

Yes on federal taxes while you serve & no federal taxes if you retire or medically discharged.

No. I'd be on board with some deduction, but exempted? Nah.

Claims filed + history/evidence

Yes. Even a 0% rating can increase overtime with aggravation.

Bad idea. Consumption tax for everyone and that’s it. Why do people like you tax the workers, the productive and reward those that don’t work. If you are disabled then ok this country will take care of you whether it was a military disability or work disability. Many people that are on disability are scam artists. But no special groups. Many props and advantages for being a veteran and if you are disabled you don’t pay taxes. If you are not disabled then share the load

No. They are already welfare recipients. Just like anyone who works for the state.

If that's what you want to call it.

You must not be a veteran or if you are you must have never tried to use some of your "benefits".

No. I joined to support my country and I have plenty of benefits. Veterans to not need to live off the hog. There’s enough people joining for the wrong reasons.

“Ask not what your country can do for you…” or something like that!

I’m not military. It is a legit question. Not sure why the backlash.

Tiguar is a pussy that gets all riled up when discussing service... I do not know if he was denied because of sexual orientation, mental or physical condition OR if all of his girlfriends were stolen by service members...

Because the best our military could do while Democrats and communists destroyed the country was blow up goat frickers in the sand. Now they’ll probably end up being a major instrument of the Democrat party moving forward.

I want my money back.
