***but as a coutry we shit on our vets and I am tired of it

as noted, I'm wallowing:

but I don't know what you mean - vets are individuals, some do well, some don't - just like every other demographic I can think of. I'll take them as individuals. Not as some amorphous group.

If they need extra help transitioning to civil life, or compensation for wounds received, or trauma - ok, I'm all for it. Other than that, if they return to civilian life, then they deserve absolute equal treatment. Nothing more, nothing less.

I respect your view
I get it
I understand it

But I still think that vets should not pay fed income taxes if they saw combat.
They pay all the rest
Just not Fed income taxes

Ok.

I'll play.

I'm going to put you in the box that abolishes the VA unless you are on disability.

***I'm liberal; I give to veteran causes, and serve a (homeless) population that has a significant number of veterans.

just wallowing in the stereotypes here:

that's very conservative of you - the fact that you give voluntarily

wouldn't your liberal mindset require you to want to give more to the government and let them decide what to give to veteran causes - it's not really your money to choose how you provide charity. It's pretty selfish of you to give to one cause when the government knows better who it should go to.

I'll bet she writes off the donations to pay lower taxes too! She should decline the deduction and voluntarily pay more taxes if she wants to call herself a... er... wait, I forgot why people make that argument...

Your stereotyping is out of control. I'm pretty sure you'd (wrongly) characterize me as a liberal.

I'm a combat vet. Are you sure you want to exempt me from paying taxes?

You should know, however, that combat wounded vets do not pay income tax on their disability pay, and not on their retirement pay if they retired due to permanent disability.

First off, I dont know where I would list you
Second, thank you for your service

Third, yes, I would exempt you from Federal income taxation
Fourth, not taxing that which you listed is a good thing

Hi rush,

Your comment of how liberal it would be of me is highly ironic though, as it would be liberals that would make sure vets NEVER get better or fair treatment from their government

Putting lib vs con aside, all veterans get preferential treatment in hiring by the US gov't.

Or did you not know that?

that's fine as long as you ask the government which charities they want you to volunteer in......

or else you're just being selfish

why do you hate the poor, children and minorities so much

so the government is prejudice against non-vets

I'd propose we just treat everyone the same and stop the madness.

perhaps they can preferentially hire EVERYONE
