I have no regrets about throwing the Gold Star away and this is another reason why I want nothing to do with it.

Many Americans were shocked by their tax bills this month. The new law was especially costly for our nation’s Gold Star families, who saw the taxes owed on their survivor benefits skyrocket.

Theresa Jones has been a single mom to Anthony and Hunter for almost six years. Her husband Landon, a Navy chopper pilot, died in the Red Sea during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2013.

“When I saw that tax bill I was shocked at how much these boys owed on benefits that were given to them,” Jones said.

The boys each received about $15,000 in survivor benefits last year. Jones was hit with a tax bill of $5,400 for them, up from $1,100 from the previous year.

Fuck the RepubliKKKlans!

That tax law was created by republicans Ryan and McConnell and Mulvaney. But the military still cheers republicans.
