PROOF that Pennsylvania should tax the Reckless Drillers @ 55% like the CASINOS and their threats of leaving if they're taxed are just a bluff to get out of paying ANY taxes: read the article below - casinos in Pennsylvania are flourishing at a 55% tax rate and Pennsylvania is also making money. The Reckless Drillers are NOT going to leave...even if we tax them @ 55% like the casinos. And the Reckless Drillers are like a casino, anyway - you never know which well is going to blow up, how many workers will die each time, how many people will die because of polluted water, or which lake or stream they're going to pollute. Kind of like playing Russian roulette.

"Pennsylvania topped the nation with about $1.1 billion in tax revenue from casinos in the 2009 fiscal year. The take outpaced even Nevada, where the glitz and sparkling lights of gambler-paradise Las Vegas help translate to about $832 million in tax revenue.......With nine casinos operating, Pennsylvania cannot equal the sheer power of Las Vegas' 260 casinos. But the state gains an edge in revenue streams because of a 55 percent tax rate on slots......."

9/11: All In One Chunk



The Tea Party is a non-partisan, grassroots uprising...it's just that it's all: Republicans, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Mike Savage, Andrew Breitbart, Dick Armey, Karl Rove, FOX "news", Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck.........and it's about regular people paying too much taxes...except that according to polls, all their taxes were cut because almost all of them are well off but make under $250,000.00! And there's no liberals or blacks in it. And the ONLY people telling us it's a non-partisan, grassroots uprising ARE THOSE VERY SAME PEOPLE I MENTIONED ABOVE! Sure! It's not about Republicans who are pissed that they aren't in power anymore! It's just that they're all white Republicans. And pigs with lipstick fly...

Matt Taibbi: "It’s just not necessary to say whether or not these people are racists. All that needs to be pointed out is that when they get a chance to gape at a video purporting to show a black Obama official confessing to having mistreated a white farmer (it turned out to be the opposite of that, of course), or a tape of Black Panther King Shamir talking about “killing cracker babies,” the word that best describes the emotions they display at these times is glee."
