Yes it is indeed a sad day here in PA as socialist Tom Wolf becomes Govenor
of PA today. Yes indeed socialism is now here in our state. Besides Wolf we also
are stuck with Obama and Attorney General Kathleen (Holder) Kane.
I just want to thank the people of both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for this
great day!

Not true. I would bet most state employees and their families voted for Wolf. And the bulk of them are in Harrisburg. After Corbett tried to cut pensions in half, he was pretty much finished. And contrary to what he constantly complained about, it is the employees who put money into the pension fund. It was the company the state hired to invest the money that lost it. And now there is a crisis but it was not because the state funds the pension fund.

CORPORATE INCOME TAX: Lowers rate to 5.99 percent, from 9.99 percent, and closes loophole that allows businesses based in other states to avoid the tax on their Pennsylvania operations. It would save businesses $249 million. Effective Jan. 1, 2016.

Not only that, but according to a newly published study by researchers at the Pennsylvania State University, the project could pump approximately $1.6 billion into state and local economies and support as many as 8,000 jobs during the one-year construction period. On top of that, the ongoing operation of the pipeline would generate an impressive $1.9 million in annual economic impact, supporting 29 permanent jobs.
Significant federal, state and local taxes would also be generated during the approximate one-year construction phase, including an estimated $31 million in federal taxes and $18 million in state taxes across all county locations hosting construction activity for the project.

HARRISBURG – In response to the Wolf Administration’s efforts to strong-arm the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education’s (PASSHE) Board of Governors into supporting the Wolf tax hikes, Republican Party of Pennsylvania Communications Director Megan Sweeney released the following statement:
The fact of the matter is Tom Wolf’s tax hikes will affect every student who buys a textbook or purchases a meal plan in Pennsylvania. Wolf’s tax hikes would raise the cost of college for more than 110,000 students by 6.5%, but what college or university will feel comfortable speaking out if it means the potential loss of state funding?
Tom Wolf’s political coercion of our PASSHE schools is troubling, and serves as further proof that Wolf will do whatever it takes to push his liberal agenda.”

Great video...
Been trying for years to explain this simply fact to people in how they never really own their own property...
Most don't get it until I start to break it down for them. Even the terminology used for tax purposes tell you that, such as "residential" property and not private property is a dead give away in how they use laws codes and status to seized "residential" property for unpaid back state taxes. Even when new property is build the first thing the city does is code it "residential property".
According to 12 USCS § 1464 (A), the terms residential real property or residential real estate mean “leaseholds, homes (including condominiums and cooperatives, except that in connection with loans on individual cooperative units, such loans shall be adequately secured as defined by the Director) and, combinations of homes or dwelling units and business property, involving only minor or incidental business use, or property to be improved by construction of such structures.”

Despite previous efforts otherwise, Gov. Wolf finally acknowledges that additional energy taxes will indeed be paid by Pennsylvania consumers – including families, those on fixed incomes, small businesses and manufacturers – in the form of higher electricity and home-heating bills,” the coalition said. “In fact, to the governor’s point, 100 percent of Pennsylvanians using natural gas – for home heating, electricity, residential use as well as regional manufacturers – will see a cost increase as a result of higher energy taxes." - See more at: http://pennbusinessdaily.com/stories/510546858-proposed-severance-tax-on-natural-gas-to-face-joint-senate-committee-hearing#sthash.YRYpWQ9G.dpuf

* Governor Wolf’s proposed *20.5 percent* increase (from 3.07 percent to 3.7 percent) would take an additional *$2.4 billion* from individuals, families and nearly 1 million small businesses across the Commonwealth.
* Based on the US Census, the average family income is Pennsylvania is $52,548, meaning those families pay $1,613 in PIT based on the 3.07% rate. Increasing the rate to 3.7 % would result in a PIT bill of $1,944, *a $331 cut* in take home pay for that family.
* The cost for Pennsylvania’s small businesses, many of whom pay Pennsylvania’s PIT, would see the Wolf tax hike take a substantial — if not fatal — bite out of their bottom line. It would drive up costs for consumers and surely put jobs at risk.
Sales and Use Tax increase
* In fact, small businesses — which form the backbone of Pennsylvania’s economy and employ thousands of its citizens — would be hit hard on many fronts by the tax increases in Governor Wolf’s budget proposal. For some, especially those in our border counties where the proposed 10 percent hike in sales taxes would hit hardest, may find the excessive cost of doing business in Pennsylvania to be too high to keep their doors open.
* Currently only 12 states have sales tax rates above 6 percent: California (7.5 percent); Indiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Tennessee (7 percent); Minnesota (6.875 percent); Arkansas (6.5 percent); Connecticut (6.35 percent); Illinois and Massachusetts (6.25 percent); and Kansas (6.15 percent). *http://www.salestaxinstitute.com/resources/rates*
* If the sales tax increase is approved, Pennsylvania would have the dubious distinction of having the seventh highest rate in the nation.
* Pennsylvania already has one of the highest sales tax rates among the New England/Atlantic region states. An additional increase will make Pennsylvania less attractive for commerce. State residents could look at neighboring states for savings when making major purchases.
* Raising the sales and use tax rate could have a devastating effect on businesses in Pennsylvania’s border counties as consumers look to neighboring states for purchases, as Delaware has no sales tax. New York State has a 4 percent rate. Ohio has a 5.75 percent rate and both Maryland and West Virginia have 6 percent sales tax rates.
* Pittsburgh would be looking at a sales tax rate of 7.6 percent and Philadelphia would rise to 8 percent, which could further hinder the already distressed economies of two of Pennsylvania’s major metropolitan areas.
Regressive taxes hurt low-income families
* The sales tax increase would be particularly devastating to low-income families. According to the left-leaning Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), sales taxes already take a 5.8 percent bite out of the total income of Pennsylvania’s lowest income families. Increasing the sales tax rate would mean those people would see their spending power decrease even further.
* According to estimates produced by ITEP based on Consumer Expenditure Survey data, low-income families typically spend three-quarters of their income on things subject to the sales tax, middle-income families spend about half of their income on items subject to sales tax, and the most affluent families spend only about a sixth of their income on sales-taxable items.
* Statistically, cigarette tax increases have a more significant impact among low-income people. Therefore, that segment of Pennsylvania’s population would be most dramatically impacted by the Governor’s proposed $1 per-pack increase (to $2.60 per-pack) of this regressive tax.*
*
Taxing Natural Gas Jobs
* The natural gas industry has created 245,000 direct and indirect jobs in the state since 2007, according to Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry estimates. These jobs have provided a tremendous economic boost to communities across western and northern Pennsylvania.
* Act 13 of 2012 imposed an unconventional gas well fee which has provided more than $630 million to local and county governments to compensate for impacts of the industry, in addition to more than $2 billion companies have paid in state taxes.
* The Governor’s proposed Marcellus Shale Extraction Tax of 5 percent of the value of gas at the wellhead and 4.7¢ per each 1,000 cubic feet of volume severed represents about a 7.5 percent tax rate – one of the highest in the nation. Only Texas has a 7.5 percent extraction tax, but that state doesn’t impose a corporate tax.
* The Governor’s proposed extraction tax proposal comes at a time when many companies are scaling back their operations and laying off workers because of low gas and oil prices.
* This tax not only imperils thousands of jobs in the industry, but could negatively impact plans by Shell to build a cracker plant in western Pennsylvania that would directly create hundreds of jobs and thousands more through spin-off businesses.
*Conclusion*
* In these difficult economic times, the Commonwealth should chart a clear and predictable course that focuses on fiscal restraint, core priorities, targeted tax policy that does stimulate the economy, and the sustainability of those financial and budgetary decisions in the future.
* The Taxpayer Protection Act bill and constitutional amendment, introduced by Senators Mike Folmer and Camera Bartolotta, would limit state spending to the average inflation rate plus the average percentage change in state population over the three preceding years.
* While the legislation sets clear limits on spending, it also provides some exceptions for certain extraordinary circumstances. We recognize that not even the best financial planners can predict the future with certainty. We need to be firm in our resolve to limit spending; but at the same time, we must be pragmatic and provide a safety net that would allow some flexibility during times of emergencies.
* In addition to the spending limits in the Taxpayer Protection Act, the proposal also sets realistic restrictions on the use of any unanticipated revenues received by the Commonwealth.

well here in Westmoreland county, we should take 2 of the 3 local elections for judge.
Both of them are good conservatives!
some of these people running this year for judge give me some concerns.
