No Tax Over 65

Tweet

Of course I am always interested in reducing taxes. I am a Republican. There are two areas I'd like to see major reforms on. Social Security income and real estate taxes. Let's talk about Social Security first. I don't think there should be any income tax imposed at all here. It should be 100% non-taxable. Here's why. I see it as something that's already been a tax in and of itself. I also do not believe there should be limits on income if people decide to take their benefits before full retirement age. I DO believe we should tax welfare benefits, food stamps, energy assistance and rental assistance as regular income because it comes FROM taxes. As for real estate, I think seniors aged 65 and older should NOT be required to pay property taxes on their PRIMARY RESIDENCE. If they have rental properties, that's fair game because it's a business. I don't want to get too deep into the 'why' in the post, because it will get too long and no one will read it. But we can talk about that in the comments. What are your thoughts on this? Let's have a discussion.
