The Widow’s Tax

It’s getting difficult to keep up with this gang of criminals who have infiltrated our government, using the Republican Party as their tool with which to weave a web of deception, deceit, and corruption. I’ve pulled a few choice examples of what is being done to the widows of soldiers killed in this evil war.

A new GI Bill of Rights for the 21st Century was unveiled recently with legislation designed to improve benefits for our soldiers and their families while providing long overdue benefits for our veterans and military retirees.

“We recognized that something needed to be done to eliminate the widow’s tax, which penalizes the survivors of those killed in combat by reducing the benefits to which they are entitled.”

Unfortunately, the one-party Congress has chosen to pursue its own agenda—focusing on making the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans permanent. As for the “widow’s tax”? An amendment to repeal it was removed from the latest defense authorization bill by the Republican Congressional leadership.
