Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., noted that a Boy Scout proposed a policy of not taxing workers<\/a> younger than age 18.<\/p>\n

The congressman from the Bluegrass State<\/a> listed several reasons why he loves the idea.<\/p>\n

“A 15 yr old Boy Scout working on his merit badge just sent me this idea: No taxes on workers under 18 yrs old. I love it because: 1. They need experience to pick a college major 2. They need to develop a work ethic 3. The economy needs more workers 4. They don\u2019t get to vote,” Massie wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Someone responded to the lawmaker, suggesting that youths “don\u2019t make enough money for the most part and get it back when they file taxes. It is a good lesson on how to file taxes and gives them a chance to get a return,” the person opined.<\/p>\n

Massie replied, “Sounds like conditioning to be sheeple. Hard pass.”<\/p>\n

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., indicated that high minimum wages box young people out of the job market.<\/p>\n

“So many of our youth have lost the opportunity to enter the workforce due to high minimum wage requirements. High taxes, insurance, and paid leave requirements are a few of many issues as well. Small business owners are unable to invest in first-time workers or provide them with skills training for their future,” she tweeted.<\/p>\n

“Great points!” Massie replied.<\/p>\n

He has previously suggested that the U.S. should nix the federal income tax entirely.<\/p>\n

“The federal income tax was unconstitutional for most of our [country’s] existence. The founders of this country would have never agreed to it. We should repeal it,” he tweeted in February 2024.<\/p>\n

Massie has also spoken out against foreign aid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“My position of \u2018no foreign aid\u2019 might sound extreme to some, but it\u2019s far more extreme to force future generations of Americans into indentured servitude to our foreign creditors,” he noted in a 2023 post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
