Remember Poor State Worker This Tax Season

Remember Poor State Worker This Tax Season — The Philadelphia Inquirer, yesterday, Nov. 25, editorialized on the need to hike the fees on those planning on drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale.

Exactly! The state needs more money! Our bureaucrats and legislators are underpaid! And think of our poor teachers!!

But why should we stop the new taxes at natural gas drilling? How about a tax on newspaper sales? Why shouldn’t these consumer products be taxed while needy state workers suffer?

Or how about newspaper advertising? How about for every column-inch sold in the Inky, have 6 percent  go to the state? It’s only fair!!

Granted  Doonesbury and opinions as to whether Andy Reid should be fired are far more socially necessary than things like energy independence and home heating, but when it comes to paying those who keep our traffic snarled by manning toll booths and  decide the benefit packages of emeritus professors of physical fitness at our major universities, no sacrifice is too great!!

  1. If the Inquirer is so concerned about saving the tax payers, why no do away with legal advertising in print publications.
    More people now pay more attention to the doings on the internet than to the trivial left-wing dribble that are fed to the readers of propaganda sheets like the Inquirer, Daily News and the Delaware County Daily Times. Why should Pennsylvania tax payers support these publications?
