There is nothing better than "First hand experience". Wolf didn't do a damn thing to help the elderly

And Wolf refused to sign the budget causing it to be late for a year. Govt was having to borrow money because he wouldn't sign it unless he got higher taxes on "everyone" The Republican legislator fought him because they didn't want higher taxes on everyone.

Tom Wolf budget included the largest state tax increase in Pennsylvania history. Also an increase of the sales tax from 6 to 6.6 percent. Many goods that have been exempt from the sales tax would be taxed, include nursing care, parks, and textbooks.

Starting with the gridlock he left off with last year, Gov. Tom Wolf unveiled a proposed budget for 2016-17 — one that again seeks higher taxes on workers, smokers, natural gas drillers and others, plus new taxes on some consumer purchases, such as a 6 percent tax on cable television and movie tickets.


Tom Wolf = higher taxes = less money in your paycheck

Trump doesn't take a salary either and no one is impressed with that either.

Republicans = casinos in gas stations feeding off the poor.

Seriously you are misinformed. I'm curious to know what part of pennsylvania you reside. The state is booming in the Democratic controlled regions and devastated in the Republican strongholds. I cannot wait until 2018 when Harrisburg returns to the Democrats. There are 1,000,000 more in the state. Seriously though. Compare economic output and the highest output are in the Democratic controlled areas. Southeast Pennsylvania is BOOMING like no other.

The average uneducated person in this state, making let’s say $30k, would pay an extra $30 a year if the personal income tax were raised 0.1%, assuming that this uneducated person doesn’t already qualify for PA tax forgiveness. I’ve heard that raising the PIT by 0.1% would bring in $300M statewide. I wonder if the average low income person has any real idea as to the minimal effect some of the tax increase options would actually be. Fear mongerers like Turzai and Wagner know full well that their constituents are low income but they pit them against modest tax increases to come across as being for the common man. I have yet to see any legitimate proposal from Harrisburg Republicans to cut wasteful spending. If these clowns can’t/won’t offer any real suggestions, they can’t also be anti-tax increase.

Wolf tried to pair a severance tax with a much-needed cut to the corporate net income tax (currently second highest in the nation) which had potential to help big gas companies but the Republicans didn’t want him to have that win, either.

Regardless of what happens, the urban/suburban Southeast part of PA will continue to grow and most other regions will continue to decline as they offer very little. Kids who grow up being told to hate Philadelphia will continue to move there because of economic opportunities that are completely unavailable in their Republican-dominated, poor small towns.

FYI I am a registered R as I am generally pro-business and anti-union but the nonsense spewed by rural PA Republicans is bizarre and scary.

Applaud to BPP. Lets look at the parts of the state that are growing. Its surely the Democratic strongholds. SEPA is a powerhouse right now. I can't wait till the gerrymandering is out, and all the rural Republicans loose. They are the soul reason why PA is held back. Look at economics people. Southeast Pennsylvania is booming like no other! While you Republicans run in circles and vote for casinos in gas stations. What a joke!!!!!!

Hey I warned y'all that you were electing Pennsylvania's version of Martin O'Malley in Maryland and you didn't pay attention because you hated Corbett so much.

So:
Get rid of death penalty? Check.
Raise taxes every year? Check.
Divert money from pensions and roads to fund social justice initiatives? Check.
Try to impose more gun control regulations? Check, although O'Mally was ultimately successful.
Try to punish parts of the state that didn't vote for him? Check.

I didn't vote for Tom Wolf but enough did and now they're calling him a one term governor. After Trumps election he seemed to tone it down a little. Tom Wolf is just a New Yorker wanna be.

If you all watched the entire ad to the end where it showed who is responsible for it you'd know this is nothing from Wolf but an independent PAC. #factsmatter

Are you claiming all of that has happened in PA? If so, you're making things up big time.
