PING!
So what happened to all that extra gas tax money?
pension bailouts
This quote sums it up PERFECTLY: “We could hand them a check for $20 billion and they would say they need more.”
Ortitay's outrage is unusual for a PA Republican. Normally, Republicans wouldn't use such an angry word, 'disappointed', they would usually say some like, "oh well, nothing I can do about it." (That's sarcasm for the slow people.)
We have the second highest gasoline taxes in the nation. We are in the top five when it comes to business taxes (9.99%). We have a temporary sales tax going back to the 1960's, which has only been raised multiple times. And we have a personal income rate of 3.07%. But things only get worse. It doesn't matter if Republicans or Democrats run things in PA. It is one big establishment party with its boots on the necks of people who work, forcibly confiscating their hard earned money to give to lazy ass government employees and those with their hands out in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Wish I had a photo of the Springdale/ Creighton PA business owner who, back in the 70s when PennDOT re-routed a highway away from his business, posted a huge sign on his business, stating, “PENNDOT STINKS”
That sign was up there FOR YEARS.
