Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Representative Ron DeSantis (R-FL) have teamed up to help “seasoned citizens” enjoy their golden years without having to pay that 12.4% payroll tax, when they reach 65 years of age.

Expect DeSantis to get smothered by hugs and kissed from all the little old ladies that will surely be attending his congressional constituent events.

“Senior citizens should not face punitive taxes if they choose to continue working beyond the retirement age,” DeSantis said. “They should not be taxed further but instead should be free to contribute to our economy. The Let Seniors Work Act will empower seniors by giving them the freedom to remain in the workforce without being subject to counterproductive penalties. I look forward to working with Senator Rubio to advance this important legislation.”

“There are currently too many perverse disincentives for healthy and hard-working seniors to leave the workforce instead of staying in it to the benefit of our economy,” Rubio said. “We need to make sure that seniors can keep working if they so choose without being hit by de facto financial penalties. I’m excited to have Ron DeSantis leading this effort in the House. As representatives of Florida’s large senior population, we know what a boon this reform would be to our entire country but especially to our state.”-Rep. Ron DeSantis (R)
