Cenk and Ana Kasparian talk about Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, who has given hefty tax breaks to natural-gas companies in his state but now says he’ll lay off hundreds of state police troopers. “I believe Tom Corbett is a crook,” Cenk says, “and I believe this is legalized bribery.”


This is so true I am about fourty miles from PA border and my favorite campsite is in PA and was shut down for camping but remains open for hikeing and bikerideing.

I have been going there with my kids every summer since they were two and four and I became a single parent we coninued this tradition untill two years ago when they closed my son is now 18 and daughter is 21.

Anyhow my daughter and I took our bikes to ride and reminice this summer and enjoyed a nice day and in our rideing we ran into a park ranger whome we stopped to chat with and I asked him when and if ever they would re open the camp ground.

He gave alot of information on the cut backs and mentioned how little the gas drillers paid in taxes. He said even last year he was a full time police officer in oil city and when the contract was up he and his fellow officers were given a pay cut and most of them were cut down to part time status and he wss a lucky one who found a park ranger job many others have to work in a couple differant towns to get fourty hours and little or no benefits.

I suppose one should never vote republican especialy when times are tuff because the little guy gets the shaft and the rich simply do not pay taxes.

That being said I have little faith in the democrats either at this point.

You noticed the logic stated behind the tax breaks given by the Gov?

"If we don't give them the tax breaks they will pack up and leave!" the point being....that's where the NG is....not somewhere else!

A few radicals does not constitute a country (Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, Libya), just as a few (ok...I'll give you this one to a point) politicos doesn't make them all bad.

Some actually do their jobs.....it's up to the voters to cull the herd! Adherance to the constitution is a good starting point!
