But everybody is being schooled from home. They must be saving a fortune.

Teachers in PA are insanely overpaid.

It’s always for the kids with these politicians.

” families with two children making less than $84,000 will receive a tax cut while a family of four making $50,000 will have their taxes eliminated.”

A family with 2 children is a family of four. What does this mean?

[FlipWilson]

Why bother proposing it? Just get the PA Supreme Court to mandate it. That is how PA operates these days.

The payoff to the state teacher’s unions for essentially bagging work for a year and making the argument for the economic lockdown so he didn’t have to.

The marginal utility of new money for public schools is negative.

That means every additional dollar actually makes them worse.

[americas.best.days...]

Penna is a blue state now. They won’t mind paying extra taxes. It’s for the children.

[HonorInPa]

And this is why we moved from PA to FL last year.

Making a retirement decision is becoming easier and easier.

The budget proposal seeks to address the inequities created by the state’s flat personal income tax rate by expanding the tax forgiveness credit, according to an administration official. Filers with incomes at or below these thresholds – $15,000 for single filers; $30,000 for married filers; and $10,000 allowance for each dependent – will receive total 100 personal income tax forgiveness. The percentage of tax forgiveness declines by 1 percentage point for each $500 above the threshold for 100 percent forgiveness.

So families with two children making less than $84,000 will receive a tax cut while a family of four making $50,000 will have their taxes eliminated.

If the writer graduated from a Pennsylvania public school, that doesn't say too much about about Pennsylvania public schools.

Gosh, what a surprise! Not.

“An increase of that size in the personal income tax would raise more than $3 billion annually.”

Someone please remind me the last time a prediction about how much a new tax would “raise” to the government was actually correct?

[ConservativeInPA]

The Democratic governor will need approval from the Republican-controlled General Assembly to approve his spending plan and his proposals to raise the state income tax and increase the minimum wage.

They have to write that for the stupid that think higher taxes are a good thing.

Government should be cut. MASSIVELY. Every school teacher deserves a 30% pay cut. They are a bunch of leftists. So screw them. Business taxes should be completely eliminated. The temporary sales abolished. (Yeah, it was supposed to be temporary.) Personal income taxes should be lowered to 1%. I'm being generous, because I really don't think anyone working in Harrisburg is worth a dime.

[bgill]

Raising taxes.

No, no, lemme guess. He’s a demonrat.
