Democrat Tammy Duckworth slammed for getting tax break on her Illinois home

[rightwinger]

She's a ******* hypocrite for taking it.

Explain how?

Where has she ever spoken against benefits for veterans or disabled veterans?

In fact, she has been a strong advocate for Vets

Democrat Tammy Duckworth slammed for getting tax break on her Illinois home

U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a disabled U.S. military veteran, has been criticized by a Chicago newspaper for getting a tax break that has allowed her to avoid paying property taxes on her Cook County, Illinois, home since 2015.

She gets the disabled veteran tax break....but by all means, denigrate disabled veterans.

 

[bodecea]

Was she good at her job? Was she competent under stressful situations? Or was someone else passed over for diversity and quotas? There are men who are the same way. John McCain was one. Privilege has its advantages.

Fascinating.....and coming from the trump Right.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

I am a Trump supporter so screw off with your generalizing.

 

[bodecea]

What an offensive thing to say

But this is where the trump Right has gone to now......are they all proud?

 

[bodecea]

It's a legitimate tax break, however as a Dimocrat you'd think she'd put her money where her big mouth is and not take advantage of the exemption.

Just your usual do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do ruling class liberal.

Amazing.....and from the trump Right.

So much for Conservatives supporting our troops, even the disabled

Unfortunately, you need to look around and find out how rare you are in this regard.

^^^^the trump Right

You keep generalizing and you would be wrong.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Why?
She was severely injured in defense of her country
Should she refuse veterans health benefits also?

No, we're talking taxes here, not healthcare.

I'm saying Dimocrats, who have never met a tax that they didn't fall in love with, should exempt themselves from taking special tax exemptions like this.
They want Americans to pay taxes, especially rich Americans like herself, so they should set an example.
They won't of course, but they should.

You keep generalizing and you would be wrong.

You need to open your eyes and see how rare your stand is on the trump Right these days.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

It's completely logical. Dimocrats love for rich Americans to pay as much of their money to taxes as possible, so she should not be a hypocrite, by taking advantage of this exemption.

 

[LeftofLeft]

I have no problem with disabled veterans and their surviving dependents getting this benefit. I do have a problem with State and locals not disseminating or increasing awareness on this benefit. Also, much as I support Sen. Duckworth for taking advantage of this tax break, she too should support others who take advantage of their tax breaks. Unless people are committing fraud to get the tax break or credit, there is no need to demonize them. If you don’t like Trump getting tax breaks, go through the process and change the tax code.

Not true

Dems stand behind Veteran benefits regardless of how much Conservatives complain

Yes, Dems want Americans to pay taxes
It funds things like education, security, healthcare, public services and yes, even veterans benefits

Conservatives don't whine about tax credits, breaks and deductions being evil. You people like to call them "loopholes” and piss-n-moan about how they need to be done away with.

Here's Duckworth bitching about "loopholes"...



She obviously don't mind taking advantage of tax loopholes.

There is actually nothing hypocritical about being against something but still using them till they are gone.

I am against all tax expenditures, but it would be ******* stupid not to use the few I qualify for while they are the law of the land.

It's literally the definition of hypocrisy...lol

Not even close. Try looking up the word or get a 5th grader to explain to to you and then come back

Yeah, hypocrisy. That's exactly what it is.

This is an example of "Socialism being for everyone, but the socialists."

Another good comparison, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

If Duckworth thinks tax breaks, credits and deductions are bad, then she should set the example by not taking advantage of them. She's an Army officer. She should already know that
