The Pottstown Borough Council members must not live in Pottstown or else they have extremely great jobs to raise the taxes 18.6 percent. Aren’t there enough sheriff sales in Pottstown and people moving and can’t afford to live anymore without their taxes being raised?
Per the Congressional Budget Office, 60 percent of American households receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes. Furthermore, Social Security is the primary source of income for over 20 percent of current beneficiaries. It was intended to be a modest supplement to retirement savings. Mark Furlong
God gave man free will to choose between good and evil, right and wrong. If we choose to live our lives as if God didn’t exist and tell Him we do not want Him or need Him and keep committing these atrocities, that doesn’t change a thing. He’s still not going to renege on our free will. The choice is actually up to us, so yes evil is due to man.
Is anyone really surprised by what is going on with all these sexual accusations? Look at the movies and television shows that are coming out of Hollywood. Do you listen to the lyrics of today’s music? And look at all the trash on the internet. It is being instilled in our children. Now people complain but they are part of the problem. Wasn’t Hugh Heffner an icon of theirs? Lady Di
This government needs to get rid of the people that refuse to care to help the American citizens’ tax pockets. Our incomes aren’t enough to live on and yet that House plan doesn’t help anyone but the businesses, the wealthy and the middle class. How fair is that? Our government needs to have people in there that will only help the American people and not hurt us. What is wrong with our government? Get rid of all of them.
Thank you Donald Trump for approving the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline that runs through some of the most pristine land in our nation has developed its first leak that has immersed parts of South Dakota with over 200,000 gallons of some of the most toxic oil known to man. That’s what I call making America great again.
Lady Di is trying to compare eight years that President Obama served compared to the 10 months of Donald Trump. Not one time in eight years that President Obama served can you find where he called people names like a 12-yearold, where he insulted a Five-Star family or when he made fun of a reporter with Parkinson’s. He never was rude to a grieving widow. If President Obama ever did anything like that they would want his head. Clark S. Kent
According to your girl Hillary Clinton who has just spoken, she said if the DOJ appoints a special prosecutor to go after her for the Uranium One Russian deal or for her Foundation that will be considered an abuse of power. OK, she said it so let’s forget about it. Mom’s Mobley
The person who put the phone number in that they were collecting cards and stickers, could you please put your phone number in Sound Off again because I have cards to donate.
I have worked in a male/female environment most of my life. This sexual environment is definitely male and female. Also the higher up the company ladder you are the worse it gets. It is not a single-gender problem. It is human nature. Think about it. RFD
About the tax bill they just passed, the standard deduction for married couples would increase from $12,700 a year to $24,400 next year. Only one problem, that’s only temporary. Down the road that will be eliminated. Don’t be boon swaggled by the Republicans. Most of the other stuff is permanent for the one percent. Go to the AARP page and find out the facts. This is only for the super rich. Call Sen. Toomey and tell him “no.” He’s going to vote for it.
