shagman Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Although I have no problem paying taxes and doing my part for society, I find a lot of people who donnt realize that military members pay the same taxes as everyone else. Mybe these people are in another world but.... Although we dont in combat zones. Im just curious on what everyone thinks on the matter. Should military members get more breaks than they already get? Would this help with recruitment at all? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 When anyone works out of the country for a certain amount of time, they don't pay income tax. I would assume that that goes for military as well. Plus they get combat pay if they are in a dangerous area. True? They deserve all that and more IMO.

PokerPacker Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 i would agree, but the whole concept of putting some citizens above the law scares me away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsbuck Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yes, they should pay taxes, but I think they should make a lot more money. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Judges Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yes, they should pay taxes, but I think they should make a lot more money. IMO I agree with this. I heard some of our bravest are going to Iraq to risk their lives and are not being appropriately compensated. Anything under $40K is too low IMO and probably the basement should be higher than that. I don't know if that would be financially feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
