Since we are paid with taxes I think our contribution to federal income tax should be less just for logical reasons.
If you were taking up donations at work to help someone out on hard times, would you also collect money from that same person just to give it back to them?
I think we should pay taxes to pay for the services we receive from the govt. but it just doesnt make sense to tax tax money.
Its like paying sales tax on a used car.

This question is a little vague but I'll give an answer. The fact that our housing BAS and medical are not taxed and many of us are legal residents of states that do not tax military income when you look at how much money you will need to make after the military it is significantly more than you would expect. Cost of living is also something to pay attention to, someone who makes $80k in DC does not live as well as someone who makes $60k in Alabama.
Not sure if that is what you were asking but there it is anyway.

That's actually a different topic Sir, I feel across the board if you have an active CAC card you should be exempt!

I will keep it simple, I would like to see retirement pay not taxed. Would be a nice benefit to have considering all that you do in a span of 20 years.
