People living on low income, have little to no tax burden in the first place. If by taking the standard deduction you'd end up getting a full refund on any taxes you've paid, with a net of zero -
then getting an additional $6000 deduction wouldn't change anything, at all. You'd still net zero.
There are seniors living right here in The Villages who would be in this situation. There are millions of seniors all around the country who would be in this situation.

That's right, those seniors are already getting a free tax ride and SS benefits. When does the government stop being responsible for everyone living the life of luxury? Let seniors go through their savings and assets and pay their way. Passing money down to children and in 5 years, the seniors get all those government goodies. I've seen it happen.
