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.
EXACTLY!!!!

The bill includes a TAX BREAK. It is intended to ease the burden on seniors who are PAYING TAXES. It is not intended to be yet another welfare program or government freebie. If you are paying ZERO TAX, then you don't need TAX RELIEF
