What I hate is when cities in CA—knowing they need 2/3 approval for a tax—put parcel taxes for schools on the ballots EXEMPTING senior citizens from the tax.

So, a wealthy senior doesn’t have to pay the tax, but can impose on me to pay it, and I don’t use the public schools either! (My children are in a Christian school.)

Either an educated citizenry is good for all, or not. If the seniors don’t benefit from an educated citizenry, then other should be excluded too, and only those who send their children to public school should have to pay these additional parcel taxes.

Really burns me up. . .

I thought a bill of attainder was unconstitutional. Age discrimination...
