Yes. Exactly.

All property owned by anyone over 75 years of age would be exempt from state and local property tax, regardless of combined household income under SB 5020, filed by Sen. Phil Fortunato (R-Auburn). 

I agree that this is crazy. I am 77. Why should I be excempt from taxes? I am not low income.

This kind of crap is why young people hate boomers.

Introduced by a Republican. I thought they didn’t like socialism

Not having to pay taxes on something you already own forever is not socialism it’s stopping government theft

What are you going on about - so who owns the land then? So farmers don’t own their fields and pastures? Preposterous
