Thank God they're gonna eliminate property taxes, so all the counties and municipalities can eliminate the services that older people depend on. Smart!

It is crazy. The plan (I guess) is to somewhat replace the revenue with an increased sales tax. That actually has an outsized impact on older people because they typically have smaller (less expensive and thus less taxed) homes, live on fixed incomes but still need to buy everyday items subject to sales taxation to live.

So what we are really doing is subsidizing the Jackson wealthy folks because they no longer would have to pay property tax on their ridiculous multi-million dollar residences but largely don't need to purchase more essentials (subject to sales taxation) than the other typical Wyoming resident.

I don't understand it at all.
