Stop Real Estate taxes for retired elderly people

Review, lower and change the Property and Real Estate taxes for the elderly in Virginia.

Why is this important?

I believe that the state of Virginia got the highest tax rates for the poor and retired elderly people. We all should be concerned especially if you have elderly parents, friends whom you care about, but can't afford to help them. Housing is important for the elderly; they shouldn't have to be placed in nursing homes, retirement homes because they can't afford the high cost of property and real estate taxes. They should be able to live out their days living in the home that they purchased and have the joy of living comfortably and being surrounded with their family and loved ones.
