Don't they make enough money that they can pay their own security or set up their own hotline? Why does the citizens have to pay for it? Maybe their insurance can pay for it since it's a high risk job.
Watch Congress turn bodyguards into something you can get a tax break for, like they did for private jets under Trump's tax reform. In the end they'll find a way to make sure we pay for it, not them.
Employees like that are generally already tax deductable.
Cool. Then the general public should be able to hire bodyguards for their kids in school for massive tax breaks.
We don't pay for it with a tax break. They still pay for it they just get some money back for doing it come tax time.
Which is money that doesn't go into the budget to be used for health care, housing or any of the other things ordinary people need.
Which means those of us without a bunch of loopholes to exploit have to pick up the slack.
