So this 'free pass' you get, it it a physical (as in made of
something...plastic/cardboard etc) pass you have to carry?

This 'program' you mention, does it have any staff?

Nothing is for free.....someone paying tax is covering it.....

Wow ! America has invented the free state !
So, *no one* pays for the parks ?
So the Golden Pass is free to *everyone* ?

Or, do those that pay subsidise those that don't

That would be socialist, wouldn't it, which is a bit like communism.
You are all communists
