States love retirees. They pay taxes to support the school systems but

Who do you think was paying taxes while your little offspring were in
school, using buses, road, electricity and all else?

Retirees. And when their kids went to school it was them and others
that shouldered the burden.

Are you saying that if you don't have kids, you shouldn't have to pay
taxes?

There's a good issue for the GOP to run on, tax for children.

Why don't you pick up the issue and run with it. Tax the retirees more
because they obviously don't have to spend it on kids anymore.

Roads? I pay taxes for roads with every gallon of gasoline I purchase.
What has the Federal, State and Local government been doing with all of
that fuel tax money?
