taxing our troops PLEASE read

It is astounding to me that I recently found out that some of our states actually choose to tax the pay of our troops while they are deployed in war. How dare they. I am furious, and I am going to make sure any and all of my government people here in NY hear from me. While I am certainly aware that Albany is probably the most corrupt state government there is in the country, how dare any state tax these troops. It is vile and disgusting. I would rather pay more tax on whatever the hell is neccessary than see this happen and I dont care if its a small amount . Its a disgrace and I hope, I ask you to please find out if your state is taxing your soldiers combat pay and loudly object. I realize this state is almost bankrupt, but the money should come out of the salaries of our fat cat over paid idiots in albany, certainly not on the backs of our troops. Along with that I found out that because my boy is stationed in Italy, in order to come home on leave during the holiday season it is going to cost him around 2000 euros, like 4000 dollars. What ever happened to free or at least reasonable travel costs for our soldiers? More later.
