Should wages paid with tax dollars be considered non taxable income?

If we didn't pay tax, there would be no way to determine what the social security benefit payout would be, since it's based off what we pay in.

No, Tax dollars should not be taxed.

Under current federal and state tax laws they are taxed. We are taxed on Social Security and Medicare as if we received the money, note how your federal and state income tax is based on Gross not Net of Wages.

The US has double taxation on any business income and then it is taxed at an individual level.

When you withdraw Social Security before your 'retirement' date, you will hand back between 1/3 and half your benefit if you have earned income based on the means testing provisions inserted in the 90s.

If you saved all your life and decide to pass your savings to your heirs, you have federal and state level estate taxes due 90 days after your death.

If you don't think we are socialist in denial, then you are really a socialist in denial...
Welcome to the new America!

WOW .. what a sweet benefit that would be!

End paying taxes on military service pay, especially while stationed overseas. | We the People:...

Service members are paying for more than just our right to be free. They are paying for their own wages by paying taxes. Service members are paid for by taxes, and paying taxes on that wage is like a snake eating its own tail. It is not right that the people providing the service should be paying for the service they provide for others. In this respect, service members, especially those that serve overseas should not have to pay taxes. Policy...

Inheritance taxes only kick in on individual estates valued at over $5.49M, or $11M for couples. Only a tiny number of people in this country ever get hit with an inheritance tax, because people with that kind of money know how to structure their estates to avoid such taxes.
