It is rather compicated but is goes back some years ago when bars decided to have Ladies Nght with free drinks but never a Men's Nght out with free drinks. It took a court ruling to approve the concept and rather than formulate a serious of rulings, it was left as an unwritten ruling. This began the movement to allow senior discounts based solely on age as a non discriminatory concept.
Isn't it reverse discrimination to allow an old geezer like WIX to get a senior discount but not a 40 year old? The allowance of the discount is a gift from the government which did not argue that it is age discrimination. Affirmative Action for seniors like WIXIE.

If the discount did not exist the vendors would be charging Wix full price and the additional revenue would be taxable profit. I am quite certain if Wixie and his fellow seniors paid full price there would be no need to raise the tax on those earning over $250,000. WIXIE is just greedy and would never give up his discount for the good of the country. He is a typical extremist on the right.

I still look forward to the day he and I can sit down for a cup of coffee. We might even begin to bond.
