Disabled Veterans

 

Our disabled Veterans are grossly under compensated. They've been asking various Congresses and Administrations for fair and adequate compensation since the end of World War I in 1918. That was a 103 years ago.

In 2022, a totally disabled Veteran with no dependents is compensated at the ridiculous rate of $39,984.72 dollars annually. The National Average Wage Index for 2020 was $55,628.60 dollars per annum and the median income for 2020 was $67,521.00. The per capita GDP in 2020 was $63,416.00 dollars, among the highest in the world.

This compensation abuse of disabled Veterans is now a national security problem.

Once our youth fully understand that should they enlist in the armed forces and subsequently be seriously injured or sickened in the line of duty then they are looking at a lifetime of near poverty and this realization among our young people will cause the armed forces to collapse quickly. We have no right to expect our youth to make a sacrifice like this so that our elites can evade a fair level of taxation.

Act now.
