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 Republican Governor Tom Corbett on 22 December 2011, and; 2) Act 193 of 2012, signed into law by Republican Governor Tom Corbett on 24 October 2012, 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 Pileggi and 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
