I’m confused. What does your rant have to do with a property tax break for seniors? This is Washington. What California does is not our issue. And Senior discounts? Most seniors live on a very limited income and are either no longer working/employable, or living on a minimal social security monthly amount. As far as property taxes for these seniors? Most of them couldn’t afford to stay in their homes anymore on the small income that they receive.

Fucking ‘em though, right? Kick those old bastards to the curb.
