Those who built this state are being overcharged, ignored, and pushed aside.
PROBLEM
- Seniors are increasingly treated as a burden instead of as the foundation of our communities, making them easy targets for abuse.
- Fixed incomes are being drained by rising taxes, fees, and cost-of-living increases they can’t absorb.
- Financial abuse — including predatory fees, reverse mortgage traps, and billing fraud — is widespread and under-policed.
- Too many assisted living and care facilities overcharge, understaff, or neglect seniors without consequences.
SOLUTION
- Eliminate property taxes so people are not taxed out of the homes they worked their entire lives to keep.
- Crack down on financial exploitation by enforcing laws, prosecuting fraud, and shutting down repeat offenders.
- Strengthen oversight of assisted living and care facilities, with real penalties for neglect, overcharging, or abuse.
- Protect seniors’ health and independence, prioritizing care that keeps them safe, active, and in their communities.
- Restore respect for seniors by recognizing them as contributors to society, not expenses to be managed.
