Taxing the Elderly
Legislators have received a mandate that they must
c- i i'ler during their next session . . . property tax relief.
A good place for them to start their labors would be in
se!ing tax relief for retired senior citizens on fixed Incomes.
T- is one aspect of the property tax that magnifies the in
e uiiies of the system.
The elderly, who may have been paying in support of
c'ty and county government and schools through their prop
erty taxrs for 40 or 50 years, are discovering that this contin
uing drain on their finance is unbearable.
They may have sacrificed and scrimped and saved all of
thi-ir lives so that they would have a home paid for and In
which they could retire. Only on retirement to find out that
increasing property values and taxes have all but made it im
pfjssible for them to continue living there.
When school budgets are presented for a vote these peo
llf are being asked to choose between their homes and the
K-hools. Most would have no place else to go if they lost their
hf.mes so they have little choice except to vote against tax
increases.
Property taxes for everyone over the age of 65 and with
a limited income should be frozen at a figure they can live
with.
We all know taxes are necessary and expect to be paying
them all of our lives. There is no reason, however, that taxes
should become such a liability that existence Is an Impossi
bility. For that reason property taxes for all persons over the
are of G5 should be frozen at a specific amount or at the
level they have reached when that person attains his 65th
birthday and retires.
The state woula then have to reimburse each county for
the amount county governments and schools would lose
through such exemptions.
For example, if the taxes on an elderly couple's home
when they reach age 65 are $200 per year, they should be fro
zen at that amount until the property changes hands. This
way the tax bill on their home would never increase ... no
matter how high taxes continue to skyrocket. The next year,
if taxes on their property are figured at $250 the couple would
still only pay $200. The state should then step in and re
imburse the county for the additional $50.
The state funds would have to come from increased in
come taxes . . . but at least that money would be coming
from someone who could afford it and more-than-likely from
someone who still has children in school, which the over-65
couple certainly would not.
It Is almost criminal that these members of our society
haven't already been given some respite from the burden of
property taxes.
A solution should be foremost In the minds of all leg
islators when they resume their duties In Salem.
