I thought you would find this interesting weather you are for or against this plan. Every time I kept reading on the Reading Eagle Blogs about this topic the people that would be crying against it are saying how it will benefit the rich in their $200,000 plus houses. Well I decided to take a survey the other day. I went door to door to what is considered the two rich neighborhoods in Berks County. One of them being Wyomissing Hills, and the other being Riverview Park in Muhlenberg Township. I went door to door in both of these neighborhoods, and what I discovered is not only are over 92% in each neighborhood against this plan, but all for the same reason, and the reason is rather disgusting. Now before I tell you the answer I received I want to say this is going to put all of this Commonwealth Caucus Plan benefiting the rich business put to rest, because I have surveyed the rich, and the average answer they gave me was this.
These two neighborhoods strongly opposed to this plan on the grounds it would take away their security. When I asked them to specify on what they meant by security they specified like this. It would take away their security by allowing people with lower incomes like Hispanics, and Blacks that normally live in the city would have a chance to live in their neighborhoods, and if that ever happens their property values will decrease with all of the crime these types of people would bring.
Now I wonder why the Reading Eagle never looked into this. This is a good thing, and I find it sick that these people only believe that Blacks and Hispanics only belong in the city. That kind of comment is sick, and these residents should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe people want to get out of the city is because they want a better life for their families regardless of their race. I invite everybody to check out the site of the Commonwealth Caucus http://www.commonwealthcaucus.org/. It has all of the house bills detailing their plan, and on what I read so far I seems pretty good, and this revenue gap that these school boards are crying about is bull. One of the bills details how each school district can enact an income tax with voter approval. That’s the trick voter approval. That means these school boards will have to begin to justify themselves, and they will have to put books, and education before football fields, and swimming pools, and other non educational activities. Now you see the true reason whey these people are beginning to oppose this plan, and with Rendell opposing this plan you have to wonder if he shares this same view along with other Liberals? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Matt,
The rich love the status quo, they oppose any change that may fuck up their existing privileges…

Let see,
You are the ones that have been against the caucus plan claiming that it will benefit the rich, and corporations, so if you think this would be a plus for them then why would they be against it?
Duh

Depends on who you refer to as the rich… You are talking about rich home owners. I think most of those complaining about the rich making out are talking about corporations and business owners that will get a break by no longer having to pay into the system, putting the entire burden on those with jobs while all of those businesses get a higher profit margins!
