Can't let the farmers get ahead!

Time for more PA politics. State House Speaker John M. Perzel, R-Philadelphia thinks this mental gymnastics justifies his self-voted pay raise:

''The people in Lancaster County who milk cows are making $50,000 to $55,000 (a year). ...You are paying a guy who milks cows $55,000, and (they're) saying it's too much to pay a member of the General Assembly half of what a member of Congress makes?''

Grassroots PA reports that Perzel's salary, after the $37,000 raise he voted for himself, will be $145,000. Hmmm....almost three times that $50,000 the "undeserving" dairy farmer in Lancaster County is making.

I say it once again, VOTE THE BUMS OUT!!!

Exactly! I thought the same thing--that many farmers in PA are Amish and Mennonites. Shame on PA politicians!

There is currently a movement in PA to vote out EVERY incumbent--even if it means writing in someone if the incumbent is running unopposed.

I'm going to do that!

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
