60 Plus Association

“Guardian of Seniors’ Rights” award, in honor of the Representative’s efforts on behalf of the elderly. 60 Plus is a non-partisan group that depends upon support from nearly 5 million senior citizens. Issues of concern were:

- Repeal the 1993 tax on monthly Social Security benefits;

- Abolish the Social Security earnings limit for younger seniors 62-64;

- Abolish the 90-year-old death tax which hurts small businesses and farmers;

- Repeal the 108-year-old excise tax on telephones which was imposed to help finance the Spanish-American War.
