Continuing in his quest to find taxes to eliminate for specific voting groups, former President Donald Trump said Friday that he would consider eliminating federal income taxes for first responders, members of the military and veterans.
“It’s something I would think about,” Trump said in response to a question on the issue during an interview aired on OutKick, a sports news site.
According to Bloomberg’s Stephanie Lai, eliminating taxes on first responders and the military would be one of the largest exemptions yet for Trump, who has also proposed nixing taxes on Social Security benefits, overtime pay and tip income, among other things. Lai notes that there are roughly 18 million veterans, 1.3 million active duty personnel, 1 million police officers and 300,000 firefighters in the United States.
