Donald Trump said he’d consider exempting police officers, firefighters, active duty military and veterans from paying taxes, the Republican nominee’s latest campaign trail idea to deliver tax breaks to key groups of supporters.

“It’s something I would think about,” Trump said in response to a question about excluding first responders and military members from tax bills on an online show Maintaining with Tyrus that aired Friday.

I’m a military retiree. The fed government pays my entire retirement, and then takes a bunch back.

Why not just give me less and don’t tax me, I sometimes wonder.

I’m in Alabama, which does not tax military retirement at all.

That’s a bit of a stretch, I think. If limited to the military, I’d support it.

This is likely a bit complicated....if you are collecting SS, too.

Initially military paw was exempt for federal income taxes. Then Congress saw a few billion more dollars they could waste and pass a “temporary” income tax on military pay, which in DC, noting ins temporary.

I’m ok with this as long as we’re not talking about someone who makes millions in business who “happens” to be a “police officer” or “veteran” don’t tell me there would not be corruption in that system.

Trump is slowly moving to dropping the income tax system. You can see his brain working. All this is building support for the idea.

Active duty military only is my idea. Will there be fraud? Of course.

Terrible idea. Among other things, everyone needs to have skin in the game. I’d move in the other direction, and make sure everyone paid something, even if only $50.

Also, we don’t need any more special classes of people. Police have a difficult job, to be sure. But so do emergency room physicians, loggers, power company linemen, etc.

This is the build-up to getting rid of the IRS and the income tax.
