Gov Ed Rendell is not a friend of FOFC
As part of his 2010 budget, he proposes removing 74 current exemptions from the state tax.

Rendell's $29 billion budget lifts 74 sales tax exemptions

I have a bit of professional experience with this notion of "expand the sales tax base." The offset of a lower tax rate is an intriguing wrinkle.
The idea usually is at its absolute zenith of potential appeal when it's being discussed in pithy one-sentence items like those in this news item. But once the various services and groups who would newly be subjected to the 4% tax get a hold of the idea, there is usually a run on torches and pitchforks. I predict this does not go well. |

Should be an interesting Thanksgiving conversation if my cousin votes yes to new taxes.

I'm frankly amazed there's that many sales tax exemptions.

Coming from a Steelers' fan this doesn't mean too much. Call me when you baseball team wins 80 games...in a year. And he isn't only an Eagles fan...he's an analyst on the post game report on TV. Last edited by Dr. Sak : 02-11-2010 at 07:43 AM. |

Sounds like there are too many exemptions to begin with.

Pennsylvania could probably have a budget surplus if it totally dumped their horrendous DOT and privatized it.

But then who would hold the signs to tell me to go slow through a construction zone? But that might mean that people would actually be working in those zones....hmmm... |

Since torches and pitchforks are already not tax exempt, this may work in his favor.

It was never the guy who holds the sign that bothered me -- it was more the four other guys hanging around the truck drinking coffee while another two sat in the truck on the phone or eating a sandwich. |

I'll let you know when I have a baseball team. It's a good thing he's always freed up from that analyst job by mid January to start to concentrate on the budget, huh? ![]() Don't worry, we have our own jackass on this side of the state who wants to be governor next.
