It is hard for seniors to file that have reduced facilities. Government needs to understand that these seniors have paid their dues over the years, and deserve an easier way to file if their only income is retirement.

As a footnote, just lately a couple (were 95 and 92) tore up IRS form and booklet about 15 years ago and never filed since. They passed away a couple years ago, but trying to figure out how to file was too much, so they said "come and get me". It's about time that seniors are given the respect they deserve, after all the young are benefiting from what the seniors have done for them. But if all the seniors sat on their @ss you might not have what you young have now. Freedom and prosperity.

You uh...have a tough time fitting that head of yours through doorways???

Strong advocate for your generation I see...

Actually, it's the other way around. The seniors of today, and the generation they spawned, are the ones who have spent their whole lives stealing the prosperity of their children. I, for example, was born 30 years ago with $20,000 of debt for money that my parents and grandparents spent for their own benefits.

The WW2 generation gets a pass in my book, for their valiant sacrifices against the totalitarians of the East and the West.

The boomer generation, on the other hand, is a generation of thieves who sold out their childrens' and grandchildrens' futures for their own personal luxury and comfort.

I'm so glad that I have had such an easy life and have had everything handed to me. Never mind the 10 years in the Army or the 40 hours a week during full time colleg or the confiscation of half my earned cash or many other things. I guess I should thank the "gimme" generation for making life so easy for us youngsters.

Why should any income be treated differently from the rest? I just love how the "convenient conservatives" populate FR.
