Schwarzenegger to Seniors and Tenants: Drop Dead!Tommi Avicolli-Meccabyline‚ Oct. 01‚ 2008Let’s face it, if you’re poor or working-class in America today, you’re out of luck. Big time. If you’re a senior on top of it, forget it. You may as well do the politicians a favor and just drop dead. Consider California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He recently eliminated from the state budget the annual renters rebate for seniors that provided a little economic relief (up to $347 a year) to elderly persons on a fixed income. He did the same thing to the tax rebate for senior homeowners. A terminator’s got no time for feelings. |
