Scarneti is earning his campaign donations.

Can't wait to see if Corbett earns his.

You act as if the Democrats aren't beholding to their contributors. Although I'm sure to hear you whine they are all for the "little people" which is also garbage.

I note that you devoted two paragraphs to the reasoning behind the destination of those taxes you want levied..

Were those two paragraphs a preemptive strike against the reality of that revenue stream?

Everyone knows what the left envisions when you invoke the '''tax''' mantra of the tax and spend liberal party (Democrats)

You let the proverbial cat out of your progressive bag when you wrote this!---

''''But an extraction tax is still the best, fairest, most comprehensive way to balance the interests of drillers against those of the entire state.

"The commonwealth resources being extracted belong to all of us," Senate Minority Leader-elect Jay Costa, D-Allegheny, told Capitolwire.com this week. "A severance tax is the only fair means to make sure all commonwealth taxpayers are fairly compensated." ''''

Democrats envision that the term 'fairly compensated' as paying for more entitlements and growing government!
