If a private business wants to give them I’m thankful as my income has now declined.

A private business can certainly do as it chooses. However in my area, seniors get discounts on: Property Taxes (called homesteaders), city rec-center, trash pickup, snow removal, and probably a bunch of other city services I'm not aware of.

I can even recall local voting issues that were marketed as "seniors will not be affected by the increase" in the past.

I think it would be a good debate to argue whether tax dollars should subsidize senior discounts no matter how small.

I think it would be a good debate to argue whether tax dollars should subsidize senior discounts no matter how small.

Or just move to a town where seniors don't get discounts.

Does it bother you that many of the 'corporations' in your town get 'tax discounts' ?

Tax 'discounts' subsidized your birth. It's right on the tax forms for medical expenses. Your parents got to claim you as a TAX EXEMPTION as soon as you were born. Will you be giving that money back ?

Do you attend church ? Most of them are (well, this is changing due to the Communist takeover, but) TAX EXEMPT.

California does not give discounts for its services either Statewide or local. (At least to my knowledge.)
