The Forgotten Taxpayers Debt Just Got Heavier.
Republican Leadership of Pennsylvania Sells Out The Forgotten
Taxpayer and Its Own Base
In a period of 10 months, the Republican controlled General
Assembly of Pennsylvania voted
to add $4.6 BBillion dollars of taxpayer debt onto Pennsylvanias
future taxpayers with two
Acts of the General Assembly.
1) Act 130 of 2011 added $2.3 BBillion Dollars in Debt, signed
into law by RepublicanGovernor Tom Corbett on 22 December 2011,
and;
2) Act 193 of 2012, signed into law by Republican Governor Tom
Corbett on 24 October2012, added another $2.3 BBillion Dollars in
Debt for a total of $4.6 BBillion Dollars of
Debt.
All government debt is deferred taxation. Adding debt allows the
Republican General
Assembly to spend more than tax revenues. Adding debt allows
Republicans to deceptively
claim to have balanced the budget while, deceptively, deficit
spending.
Republican Leadership, in and out of government, count on the
compliant and clueless media
not to report the deceptive debt and Republicans, like Senate
Majority Leader Dominic Pileggiand Senate Appropriations Chair Jake
the Senator from Penn State Corman and Speaker of
the House Sam Smith, whose family has represented House District
66 for fifty years, and
Majority Leader Mike Turzai, financed, in part, by Unions
Organizers, the main drivers of
government spending, DelCo Republican Chair Bill Adolph,
entwined with DelCos
Democratic Union Organizers.
Debt is stealth taxation and by the time the bill comes due, the
culprits are collecting their
government pensions or working as lobbyists. Look at a young
person; he and she are paying
for this fiscally reckless irresponsibility. We dont teach our
kids financial literacy so they rely
on us and we sell them out.
Who pays for this debt? The Forgotten Taxpayer, mostly
Republicans.

Generally, rank and file Democrats think more debt and more
taxes are acceptable, even
beneficial; rank and file Republicans do not and yet, contrary
to its constituencys position,
Pennsylvania Republican Leadership act like Democrats while
posturing as fiscally
responsible.
Debt is Deferred Taxation
Every member of House Republican Leadership and every member of
Senate Republican
Leadership voted to burden Pennsylvanias Taxpayer with more
debt.
