Building more lanes and more roads will never solve traffic problems. The only thing that does is getting cars off the road.

These highway projects are planned out over the course of decades. The Mon-Fayette Expressway in Allegheny County was planned when the Mon Valley was heavily populated and had a lot of high volume employers. By the time it was built population patterns in the county had changed dramatically.

A guy who owned a candy shop here in Pittsburgh would rant to me about taxes this or government meddling that every time I saw him.
 
Turns out he'd stolen nearly $7m from a previous employer and used that money to start his shitty little candy store, which he then ran into the ground.

Thinking about that time a bunch of Steelers fans burned their $150 jersey over kneeling for the anthem and bought another $150 jersey.

Every other thread is somebody bitching about taxes. There's a senior center five blocks from me if I wanted to experience that constantly.

People bitching and moaning about taxes that don't affect them because their betters have been pushing propaganda out about it for decades.
 
This sub is like Facebook Grandpa's feed with that shit.

> Instead it just disappears into the state's coffers.
 

Ah, cool to see that you've bought into seventy years of propaganda being pushed by very rich people, your betters, who use their intergenerational wealth to help keep you in your place.

People who move to shithole states over taxes deserve where they end up.

PA's estate tax ain't gonna affect the $1800 and a rusty Camry you'll be passing on to your heirs

Maybe we should stop pissing away $160+m per mile on highways to nowhere, I don't know.

A lot of poor people in this thread are carrying water for insanely rich people who use their cross-generational wealth to create a de facto class of nobility. Very cool.

People like to bitch and act aggrieved.

Good

The "death taxes" should be 100%, no one should get to be rich because their grandpa was. Fuck 'em.

 
Cross-generational wealth is poisonous to democracy.

I pay less than $1000/year all in for my house. It's just clickbait bullshit for grandpa to read and screech about on Facebook.

Here's another study, also by Wallethub, saying Pennsylvania is middle of the pack for total tax burden.

Just more clickbait bullshit.

I'm from the Philly area. Moved to Pittsburgh over twenty years ago. Would move back to Philadelphia in a minute if the job market for what I do didn't suck in Philly.

This is all countryside shit, people actually in Pittsburgh don't talk like that.

It's wild how much you people hate public transit

A third of the people who watch her testimony will feel bad for her, and that's how you end up with 28-32% of the country being nazis.

This sort of brain damage is why your wife left you and why you're alone.

 
(My wife also rides the bus.)

I've been married for twelve years, my man. That's a feat you couldn't manage. For obvious reasons.

Your wife left you because your brain is all fucked up.

 
I hope she got the house.

lol, you're the moron from before? Makes sense now.
 
> Maybe go creep on my profile

 
It isn't creeping when you publicly post it, you fucking dunce.
 
No wonder your wife left you.

You're working very hard at being extremely stupid for zero gain.
