Nat'l Park senior discount, too cheap?
I am a senior, soon to be 68 years old. My opinion is that FREE is too cheap. On the other hand $25 entrance fee is too much. I'd like to see all Nat'l Pk. entrance fee set at $15 and senior discount ...

Keep on paying them then, until you catch up and earn your old age perks. I started paying income and other taxes around 15 years before you were born... :W
Whats the total dollar amount you paid so I know when I'm caught up and should be entitled the freebee?
Again, if they want it income based, I could buy it as the parks should be available to all citizens but to price poor young families out so we can give a discount to rich old folks makes no sense.
Excuse me! Not all us "old folks" are rich.
If we were we wouldn't care about the discount.
You may want to re-read. I'm OK with a low income discount.
But being old in no way implies you are automatically poor. Nor does being young automatically imply you have money.
I have reread your post, especially where you said: "....so we can give a discount to rich old folks makes no sense."
How did I go wrong in that statement?
You got it wrong because I said it MAKES NO SENSE to give rich old folks a discount and you came back talking about poor old folks.
