This following comment was posted to it:

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world, had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What the hell happened!!!

At a time when the government wants to raise your taxes (uhhh don't believe that lowering hyperbole, you can't add debt without someone paying for it; you can't take a loan out without being responsible enough to pay it back) think about how many taxes have been instituted over time? Our national debt has risen to record highs. Ohhh that wasn't a Republican thing, the Democrats in Congress voted for it as well. Has government solved our problems or dragged us into their problems to even deeper levels?

Where is the promised property tax relief from the casinos? If you drive by the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs there are lines to get in. The PA Budget Secretary told us last April that property tax relief was certain this year. Doug Harbach, communications director for the Pennsylvania Gaming Board tell us that each the casinos contribute $2.7 million in taxes with only half the casinos opearting under the law's authorization.

Seniors are benefiting from the casinos through property tax rebates. When are the rest of us going to see any money? It could be a stimulus for Pennsylvania that doesn't need federal money as its foundation.

Keep your eyes on the federal level. They want to control more and more of your money because they think they know how to spend it better.
