Lottery Winners Could Lose Back Taxes

The State House, Jan. 29,  sent a bill that would deduct back taxes from  Pennsylvania Lottery winners to the State Senate reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

House Bill 1489 would require the Department of Revenue to conduct a background check on any individual who wins more than $2,500 as a result of playing the Pennsylvania Lottery. That background check would reveal whether or not the winner owes any back taxes. If so, the amount of those delinquent taxes would be deducted from lottery winnings. In addition, the bill also directs the Department of Revenue to request that the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) determine if the prizewinner is currently a recipient of public assistance benefits prior to making any lottery winnings payment. If the prizewinner is found to be receiving public assistance benefits, DPW must determine if the individual remains eligible for public assistance benefits.

Current state law only requires the Department of Revenue and the Department of Public Welfare to work together to garnish lottery winnings when back child support is owed. In the event someone owes both child support and taxes, the child support would be deducted first.

Song Banned From The Oscars

Here is “You’re Not Alone”, the song written by Bruce Broughton and Dennis Spiegel and sung by 64-year-old  Joni Eareckson Tada, which was among the candidates for Best Original Song but had its nomination rescinded after a private investigator hired by a competitor found that Broughton sent some of the members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences an email asking them to give it a listen. The song comes from the faith-based movie of the same name.

They are also the ones who bake the Girl Scout cookies.

Hoyer Demands White House Equal Pay

President Obama in his State of the Union speech, Tuesday, demanded that  businesses pay women the same they do men claiming that in the private sector women get 77 cents for every dollar given a man.

It’s a distortion, of course, and a seriously dishonest one as women get paid about the same for the same work and experience, and the cause of the gap is mostly due to life choices.

There are exceptions, however, were true sex discrimination occurs and one of those exceptions is, well, the Obama White House.

The Washington Times has discovered that the median salary for a female staffer there is $60,000 compared to $71,000 for a male.

House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD5) was confronted with this by Brietbart News and asked if he thinks Obama should pay his female staffers equally to any equal work done by men.

“Well, of course,” he said.

We join Congressman Hoyer’s cry of outrage and demand that Obama begins treating women fairly! What is he? Some kind of a Muslim?

By the way, former White House communication director Anita Dunn has said that Obama White House fits “all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”

Stay Safe This Winter

As bitterly cold winter weather again strikes the region, it is important to keep in mind several tips to stay safe this season, reports state Rep. Jim Cox (R-129). Stay Safe This Winter

It is a good idea to pack an emergency kit for a vehicle in case a driver becomes stranded. Transportation officials suggest a basic kit include non-perishable food, water, blanket, a small snow shovel and warm clothes. It is also recommended drivers include a flashlight with batteries and a candle with matches.

To help prevent breakdowns and crashes, be sure vehicles are in good shape by checking all fluid levels, lights, wiper blades and tire condition, and removing as much snow and ice as possible.

In addition, be sure to follow these guidelines when encountering a plow truck:

• Stay at least six car lengths behind an operating plow truck and remember that the main plow is wider than the truck.
• Be alert since plow trucks generally travel much more slowly than other traffic.
• When a plow truck is coming toward a motorist, move as far away from the center of the road as is safely possible, and remember that snow can obscure the actual snow plow width.
• Never try to pass or get between several trucks plowing side by side in a “plow train.” The weight of the snow thrown from the plow can quickly cause smaller vehicles to lose control and create a hazard for nearby vehicles.
• Never travel next to a plow truck since there are blind spots where the operator can’t see and they can occasionally be moved sideways when hitting drifts or heavy snowpack.
• Keep lights on to help the operator better see a vehicle. Also remember that under Pennsylvania law, vehicle lights must be on every time a vehicle’s wipers are on due to inclement weather.

The scarf Malik Obama is wearing calls for the conquest of Israel.

Malik Obama, the half brother of the President who was best man at the President’s wedding, is rasing money for the terrorist organization Hamas it is being reported.

Malik has been a visitor to the White House and is president of the  tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation. It turns out that he is also executive secretary of the Islamic Da’wa Organization. Here’s their Facebook page. Gee, only 392 likes.

Anyway, Islamic Da’wa apparently raises money for martyrdom operations.

So maybe Malik O is just a useful tool not knowing what is going on — sort of like Billy Carter and the Libyans.

 

To my Jewish friends who voted for his brother, whatever where you thinking? The same goes for my other friends who voted for Barry.
