(http://www.toomeyforsenate.com/) Well either he is a full blown hypocrite or his definition of JOBS is only Executive and Upper Management positions. C'mon Toomey at least hold a public forum to talk about Job creation!!!!

Democrats have been in political control of our fair city for decades and because of taxes companies have closed or left the state! Its not Senator Tomey's responsiblity to produce jobs!! Our taxes are one of the highest in the country, sales tax, real estate taxes keep going up! The city just added a $13.00 water run off charge on our water bills, We are senior citizens and can't afford these charges!! We have become a welfare state folks and need to clean house first and then maybe we will have a chance of becoming the city we used to be!! Fight for Philly????

Then not only would you have a job, you'd eventully be providing jobs for other people. If you did that, you'd find that city, state, and federal regulations, along with the unions and Philly's delightful "business privilege tax" make it a cost prohibitive nightmare of red tape. The big corporations can obsorb those costs, bot because they're evil, but because they have a wide base of operations. It's the small businesses that would be enriching you and your communities that are hurt most by these taxes and regulations. High taxes and heav regulations don't hurt the millionaires, they just keep you from becoming one. How about instead of demanding jobs from the gov’t, you start a business of your own?

Many of these parents are sick. Some are sick with the biopsychosocial disease of addiction and some are economically sick with the disease of poverty. In either case the children suffer from both of these family oriented diseases and they are confounded disease within our community of complacency. Since the banks got bailed out jobs were lost and social and educational programs were cut The children are suffering due to lack of supports for both them and their absentee parents. Therefore it is time for the Village to step up. While I agree that parents are not staying on top of their children I also understand why they don’t in many cases. Many of these parents are sick.

Parents don't stay on top of their kids nor on top of their government. You can't just sail thru life, you have to work at it.
