Love of taxpayer money

We pay enough and we’ve had enough with education investment in school tax revenue. Tom Wolf, over the first five years of his term as governor, more than $1 billion in cuts to the public school system have been restored. A lot of schools are experiencing declining enrollment, not just in South Williamsport and Muncy. Muncy is experiencing job loss. That means less tax revenue for schools. People are leaving Pennsylvania now — loss of jobs, higher school taxes, jobs are not coming into the area. Pennsylvania government is supposed to withhold government spending and balance the budget, not increase spending. Don’t give me that inflation stuff. If the jobs are not here, higher education isn’t going to do any good. Tom Wolf is a big business owner. He doesn’t live in the governor’s mansion, so what? He drives his own vehicle, so what? I think the common taxpayer should stand up together and protest!

I was told that unions don’t matter when it comes to the Affordable Care Act, but it matters for you to get wages to pay for health insurance. And who makes charter schools go to public schools to cut taxpayer costs when the tax system puts liens on property when people retire? When you get money out of a stone, let me know.

Taxpayers, freedom of speech, right to assemble!
