What about Social Security? 

Since 1983, Social Security payments have been a constant subject of taxation by the federal government. Sure, just how much of an individual’s benefits might get taxed might vary, depending on their combined income, nontaxable interest, and also half of their Social Security benefits and filing status.

    No it is that the politicians and lobbyist make so much income they think all the lower level job people include retiree have the same amount of disposable income so they take care of their life style and the hell with those who pay their salaries. So get rid of the many lobbyist and their pushing agenda paying politicians and the politicians might just working for the tax payer again. know what a dollar will by when you only have a dollar.

    Democrats love to TAX productive Americans so they can BUY the votes of unproductive people with handouts. The Hasidic n NY have 8 and more children and SCAM every government program by not being married by the state (only married by their rabbi) so they can claim to be ‘unwed mothers’. The whore politicians say nothing because they want their ‘block vote’.

    New Mexico exempts $35K of military retirement benefits from state income tax. Also, any portion of Social Security benefits taxed by the federal government, is exempt from state income tax. If you live to be 100years old, you are also exempt from all state income taxes!
