Did you know that a family earning $36,000 a year pays more in income taxes than 84% of all Pennsylvania corporations?

Did you know that Pennsylvania tax loopholes allow 2/3 of all corporations in the state to pay NO state taxes at all?

Did you know that Tom Corbett’s budget proposal--released today--will preserve these tax problems, and will:

* Give an additional $833 million in corporate tax breaks;

* Raise our property taxes by $500 million;

* Cut health care, environmental protections, education and services to working families.

Why are corporations getting tax breaks when we’re struggling to pay our bills? Tell Corbett and your legislators we want a fair budget that doesn’t hurt working families.

Politicians like Corbett are using our real economic problems as an excuse to pay back their corporate donors at the expense of the middle class. It's time we return to government by and for the people, not bought and paid for by corporate special interests.

Instead of working together to put Pennsylvanians back to work, politicians in Harrisburg are using our real economic problems as an excuse to pay back their corporate donors.

They're handing special tax giveaways to billionaires and CEOs and sticking middle class families with the bill.

There is a better, more balanced way to handle our budget problems. Before cutting education funding, we could close the corporate tax loopholes. Before cutting healthcare and environmental protections we could enact a tax on drilling natural gas (we’re the only drilling state that doesn’t).

Corbett could have proposed a budget with a balanced approach, but instead chose a slash and burn budget that rewards CEOs and Wall Street billionaires at the expense of the middle class.
