Corporate Tax Cuts Revealed as Root Cause of PA Budget Deficit [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this video, I share and explain some details from a briefing paper by the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center that show how corporate tax cuts in the state over the past decade have been a root cause of Pennsylvania's budget deficit, along with some help from some handy graphs that were part of the report. I end with a bit of my own commentary on those who say we don't have the money for education and other budget priorities yet continue to spend more and more on corporate tax cuts every year.
