Trapper,
You are smarter than that. Looking at the record-no hype, no demagoguery, just the record-are you saying that our economy and national interests were better served under Cheny/Bush jr. than Obama?
Dan
Absolutely,Issis would never have had a chance to start with Bush and Chaney.
911 wasn't enough for you to evaluate the hands at the helm?
Dan
Agreed Paleface, but you are identifying a reactive policy under Bush/Cheney as compared to a proactive approach under Obama. BTW, the senior Bush also was proactive, and that was to our better security and general welfare as a nation. His son just didn't have the smarts of the father, and relied on Cheney-who had/has his own agenda.
Dan
Trapper, are you aware that you tend to speak in broad/grand overstatements and do a lot of finger pointing? How does that enlighten anyone or bring to the fore your best critical thinking? Platitudes and name calling are really childish, no?
Dan
Soap Box Time: What really gets me about politics is the half truths that people on both sides believe. I am in agreement with some on this post that politics in general is dysfunctional and full of lies. Lets start with Corbett denying he raised the gasoline tax. He said he actually eliminated the gasoline tax in PA while removing an outdated Oil Company Franchise Tax to make the oil companies "pay their fair share". Can anyone here guess who is paying that " fair share"? If you don't live in PA you won't know the answer so here's a hint...it's not the oil companies. So let's turn to Mr. Wolf. He wants to enact a severance tax on the natural gas industry so the big oil companies "pay their fair share". (Sounds like he borrowed someone else's sound bite). Now I tend to think that there are some people out there who are naïve enough to actually believe that is the truth (they saw it on TV) and the gas companies will just fork over their profits to pay the tax, just like the oil companies did for gasoline sold in PA. Really? My concern is the new severance tax will be paid by the mineral right owners (including lauren and others on this post) thru deductions/reductions in their roylaties, not to mention Wolf's proposed changes (sorry I can't provide the details until he becomes Governor) in the PA income tax so the higher income families "pay their fair share". Believe me when I say that I already pay my fair share.
if pa wanted democrat rule,why didn't they vote dems in charge ? Corbett had a few things that people couldn't get by. but I bet if they thought the dems would seize control of the pa legislature, Corbett would have won. a half dozen democrat lawmakers just got out of jail and headed to Harrisburg to lobby.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
