Although I, personally, am in the $10/lifetime group, I think your regular annual pass should be based on your proximity to parks and the popularity of the parks in your neighborhood.

People in Wyoming, Montana, California, Utah, Arizona, etc. have many more facilities in their neck of the woods. If I were one of the under 62 group, why should I have to pay the same $80/yr. as they do?

The Senior Pass is not only good for the national parks. It's gives entrance to many more types of national sites and there are many of them around you:
