Holly, Quite honestly I don't have a problem with "means" testing the elderly for Social Security and Medicare benefits. Many, many wealthy individuals simply do not partake of those "entitlements" as it is personally a "drop in the bucket" vis a vis their standard of living. I also don't have any problem with taxing real estate according to it's real valuation, with provisions for the "house poor" elderly so that nobody is taxed out of their home or they have a diminished standard of living. I do not view Social Security or Medicare as a real defined benefits plan as the politicians try to portray, but rather a pay as you go welfare entitlement program that needs serious re-evaluation as to the scope of benefits and beneficiaries. bp
