Cut the $3+ trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds and tax cuts would be easy. The IRS would be a store front.

What happened to no tax on social security. It’s great that they are considering a $4,000 deduction but I’m in my 80’s and still have to work to make ends meet. Since I’m self employed I’m still paying double into FICA and Medicare and taxed on top of that.

The problem is that many seniors don’t even pay much in taxes to begin with as there income is low. A far number already don’t pay taxes. So this does nothing for them.

Also keep in mind that some of the states are going to decide to tax things based on their own rules. The states could decide to tax SS income or tips even if the federal government does not. Personally I don’t agree with no tax on tips. There are some people who make several hundred dollars a day from tips. All this does is shift the load to other taxpayers who make even less money. That is not fair at all.

This is total bullshit. This is NOT “no tax on Social Security benefits”. Hell, for me this is NOTHING! All it does is make it even harder to itemized deductions.

Gee… thanks

Stop taxing social security!
You promised.
We trusted you.

Then it will be a super economic boost to end the dammmmed income tax, period.
The tariffs can pay for the fed government like they did successfully for the first couple hundred years of USA

Another Hand Out to Boomers is not the way to a brighter future. The richest quintile doesn’t need more.

$10K exemption per child would be a good start.
$10K School Debt forgiveness, or put it back into Bankruptcy so kids can get past the mistake of borrowing and start their lives.
How about boosting the personal exemption to $40K?
Or Assumable mortgages at existing low rates, if folks qualify?

Tariffs will do a whole bunch, but more gifts to Boomers ain’t it.

It might save someone $500. They aren’t even entertaining the no tax on social security that Trump wants. The GOP are no more interested in getting rid of the income tax than the Democrats are. 🙄

Where are the Spending Cuts?
What was the purpose of DOGE if GOP House and Senate won’t enact them?
