Are these legislators going after our vulnerable grandparents? Are they trying to make beloved Aunt Millie eat petfood?

Or is it about time our fiscally challenged state established a fair tax policy? Have we allowed the proportionately most affluent demographic to get a free ride long enough?

Will the responses be along policy lines? Will compansionate conservatives support everybody equally pulling their own weight? Will bleeding heart liberals want the seniors to continue to shelter their income because they're old and on a "fixed income"? Or will support of the idea be divided along generational lines?
