As many of you already know, I am retired military and rely on my monthly retirement check to supplement my income. This year was the first time in 25 years that military retirees did not get a COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) to their retirement pay because inflation has been kept in check due to the weak economy. Okay, no big deal. I can make sacrifices just like the rest of the country and make do with what I got. But then I got the notification from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) that "due to resent legislation" the taxes on gross pay are going up. The result is I am actually going to take a reduction in net retirement pay!

WTF! I am going to have to make due with less because I am getting taxed more because I am a military retiree?! This is total BULLSHIT! I am all for paying my fair share but just tell me why we are being singled out?!
You can't possibly believe that Maobama wants to single out retired Military? Oh, wait, you're also a Right Wing Extremist, as defined by one of his minions. So you must be a legitimate target for increased taxes. The way he treats Military in general, it really doesn't surprise me. I'm frankly surprised that he hasn't cut military pay. I'm sure he's thinking about it, though.
