Of course I realize it on the retirement checks. That is income. Of course you take deductions. That is social engineering via IRS.

Everybody who has income should be taxed. I agree with Hermit that it should be a flat tax where everybody pays the same percentage with no deductions.

Question: Do you believe that the defense budget should be cut by the amount not paid by retired military or should those whose money you live on pay more taxes to make up that shortfall? They would also have to pay more taxes projected to the future for those about to retire that would no longer be contributing to the tax base.

But this discussion could last forever about taxes so I will drop from it now **..**`~ I am sure they mean something
