Governments are running out of “other people’s money”.
I ask myself the same question at the grocery store when a lard butt in front of me pulls out her EBT card.
Sounds like a typical Obama type idea.
Older people retire, depending on their government to take care of them through Social Security.
Since he came into office, Obama has given chump change to older people, probably the lowest Social Security increases over the course of 6 years in the history of the US.
Meanwhile, the Messiah makes every effort to cause prices to go up. Has milk every been this high? Beef? Chicken?
Gas is lower but certainly not due to Obama, he wants to add a new gas tax!
What a meanie. Wishing to strip away yet another method of making a senior’s life more livable. Thanks!
Vets don’t even get a discount for veteran’s plates in WA ....
Take my Senior Discount only from “My cold dead hands!”.
Come and get them!
I thought the eason for reducing senior’s taxes was to get them to vote in tax increases that did not affect them.
Hang the communist bastard from the nearest lamp post!!!
A Montréal-based think tank. Why am I not surprised?
When do we line up to skinned alive?
Fair enough Mr Kitchen - no more senior discounts, no more EBT.
“Many municipalities in Canada give discounts to seniors based solely on their age.”
? Is there another way to determine a ‘senior’?
“”Why should you ask someone else to pay for a service that you’re currently using?” he asked.
Kitchen says income transfer programs are a better way for cities to help poor people, regardless of their age.”
Hasn’t a keen grasp of irony does he?
Wbile they are at it, why not do away with ladies night at bars and dance clubs?
After Daddy was approaching 90 and Mother was gone, I would go over two or three times a day. One thing is I would fix his dinner.
He insisted on rib eye steak every day. Also a pint of oysters a couple of times a week. I thought, why not? he could afford it. I did get tired of giving the dog most of the steak every day and finally got the butcher to cut them into two pieces.
The fact is they were better off in their old age than when they had five kids to take care of. On the other hand I do know some elderly people who are living on a small income because they became disabled etc.
Personally, I am 68 and in the worst financial condition I have ever been in. It is completely my fault tho and I get by just fine.
Charge Muslims double. Muslims over 55, quadruple.
If “Kitchen” would come out of his house he’ll find that not all seniors are as rich as he imagines.
...but the cost of servicing Seniors is MUCH LESS than younger people, particularly college students, particularly in Michigan, particularly when they go to a ski area. You just DO NOT see geriatrics doing stunts like that.
“...he says municipalities giving a break to seniors are creating a situation where poorer younger people are subsidizing wealthier seniors.”
***kind of the point behind Social Security, Welfare, Medaid, Obamacare, etc....***
