how about call it a “Hero Tax”
That would sound like a tax on sandwiches in some parts of the country.
So peace time veterans would be out of luck?
We could have an interesting line of new taxes:
Grinder Tax
Hoagie Tax
Submarine Tax
Torpedo Tax
Poorboy Tax
Ignore the loser.
Grasping at straws.
Oh wait, those are banned in most liberal shitholes.
How about defunding illegals.

How about a “stupid tax” on Beto? It could retire the national debt in about a week of listening to his idiotic proposals.
“This progressive tax would be income based and would only apply to households WITHOUT a service member or veteran.”
Kind of sounds like it make a 1st class, 2ns class citizenship tier. Families with a veteran do not get taxed, families without a veteran get taxed. Hello Starship Troopers.
The answer is always the same: give me more of your money to spend on what I see fit.
And next week he pledges free pets to everyone................
Beto is so ignorant for a former Congressman. There is already a law on the books that allows an active duty military person to get expedited citizenship after a short period of active duty.
I propose a new tax on the rich so we can eliminate any and all living costs for the rest of Americans as well as eliminate all their debt.

20 year vet here...this is stupid. Just fix the VA, and quit reducing TRICARE benefits. Just keep the promise made when I signed a contract in 1985.

I got a better idea, deport every single last illegal alien and use the money saved for our vets.
Yeah more taxes that’s the ticket!
