I’m not former military, are you?
I also contribute enough to cover my fair share, as do the good people of SC.
Why should they be forced, essentially at the point of a gun, to pay the tax for others?
This is where our small government coalition falls apart. It always seems it is “handouts for me, but not for thee.” Where does it all end. How about law enforcement, they put their live’s on the line, how do we know, they tell us every chance they get. Should we keep up their gold plated pensions starting at the age of 40. How about full pensions for the Department of Education’s SWAT team. How about Social Security, no need to change that. Every retiree pulls out more than they ever paid in, what could go wrong. I have no problem with the General’s pension, but his complaint about paying state taxes like the rest of us schlubs comes across to me as licking the plate.
