The Trib is always more or less Conservative and true to form, they elequently expose Tom Wolfe for the sheeps’ clothing he wears
Blame the republican party in PA. Corbett should have been primaried out on his corrupt ass.
All they needed was someone with a pulse (who wasn’t a corrupt mess) that could stand up in front of crowds and tell them he wasn’t going to raise their taxes.
Wolf will be a disaster for the state. Absolute disaster and at the worst possible time.
Liberals hate domestic energy and hope to destroy energy independence for our nation.
If it’s a ‘sin’ to hate Dhimmocrat perfidy, I’m doomed.
Texas has had a severance tax on oil and gas for years - what is the problem with one in PA? I think that sometimes conservatives miss ways for good tax policy to work to the benefit of the public... small tax payers. For example, our severance tax income has allowed TX to have a large rainy day fund - where that money goes as a result we will have an item on the ballot to spend some of it for roads - which means no higher gas taxes.
Tell it to the marching morons who will elect Wolf three days from now.
We have a similar piece of stupid legislation on the ballot here in Nevada.

It is called Question 3 & it taxes any company that GROSSES over $1 Million a 2% tax.
This isn’t a tax on profits—it is a tax on GROSS earnings.
Then the supporters have released a TV ad talking about a hospital that charges outrageos amounts for different kinds of treatment. OF course, they are totally BLIND to the fact that it costs millions of dollars to buy all the up to date diagnostic equipment, build buildings, purchase drugs, etc.
This ad says the hospital grosses $3 BILLION a year.
Soooo—apply a 2% tax to that & you get $60 MILLION in a new & applicable tax as of Jan 1, 2015. That is over an extra $1 Million a week to pay a new tax—and one would have to raise revenues to do so. Obamacare & Medicare won’t pay above a certain amount. Soooo-does the hospital move out of Nevada or do they quit taking those patients??? Either way, I see Nevada residents losing big time. Lots of retired persons in this state, which need more health care than they did 40++ years ago.
How in the world these ad supporters think that ANY business-—not just this hospital-— won’t have to jack up prices even further to recover that tax money, I don’t know.
The only thing I can see for such a tax hammer is jack up your prices-—or MOVE OUT of Nevada.
I am voting against this tax & I certainly hope others also do. Those who support it might find themselves out of a job due to their vote.
