Tuesday

My generation (Gen Jones)has already received a windfall as a result of rising home costs, at the expense of younger buyers. I do not agree with depleting federal taxes in order to further enrich our generation.
Taxes will definitely hurt when I downsize - I’m a widow and the exemption is $250,000.00 for a single person rather than $500,000.00 if I were still married. I feel that my tax burden is fair in this instance.
Curious as to how others feel and definitely mindful of others’ situations.
