Personally, I think people in the milliary should be exempt from paying taxes while on active duty. They put up with enough crap than having to worry about their W-2. Which reminds me I need to find mine...
@Funny Pics Janitor, they are exempt from taxes while deployed, at least for combat. It use to be defined more broadly, but that was cut back by the present administration.
@Funny Pics Janitor, there's also laws in place that prevent the enforced collection of taxes against them while on active duty. (IE levies, liens, wage garnishments)
@Funny Pics Janitor, The way the military is set up, it wouldn't be fair. Since we have a volunteer army, soldier are just regular citizens who wanted to fight for their country. Making them tax exempt wouldn't be fair to the other citizens.
@Funny Pics Janitor, I think that any state or federal employee should not pay taxes. Think about it, if you work for a business you don't pay yourself. However, this would most likely mean a decrease in wages so it woulsnt truly help much.
Also, the "writer" of this Genius meme misspelled 'paid'. Nothing more ironic than someone chastising another for being stupid and then f*cking it up themselves.
I am in the military and our paycheck comes from the government, its not just comprised of the populaces taxes. And most states either exempt military taxes or we get them all back at the end of the year. Just f.y.I
