AMERICA’S RICH HAVE IT MADE
“Rich Prospect” makes me laugh. Why would the rich people in this country pack up and leave when they’re making unbelievable amounts of money while the middle class and the poor are suffering? You have your facts backwards, my friend.
SELECTIVE TAX AVOIDANCE
I find it funny when left-of-center callers complain about so-called greedy corporations keeping money in off-shore accounts to avoid taxes, yet never seem to mention the alternative energy companies that do this. I guess it’s OK to avoid taxes as long as you’re in step with their environmental agenda.
XL PIPELINE ANOTHER JOB CUTTER
It’s a matter of time before the XL pipeline goes through since there’s big money and big money gets things done. Besides the environmental issues and the land-grabbing issues, a lot of truck drivers are going to lose their jobs. This is just another move to eliminate jobs and increase profits.
BLAME YOUR GREEDY COMPANY
“Triple The Pain” says their company had a group plan, but now because of the ACA they have to buy their own plan. Well, they shouldn’t blame the ACA for that, they should blame their greedy company. I don’t want to hear that their company isn’t going to make any money by helping their employees with their health insurance. That’s nonsense used as excuse used by greedy companies.
HOLD ON TO TASTYKAKE MEMORIES
“Blast From The Past,” I agree about Tastykakes and I think the same can be said for all prepackaged snack cakes. I thought maybe it’s because I’m getting older and on meds that can affect your taste, but younger people have confirmed this for me. If I want anything like that I go to a bakery and get it fresh. Hold on to those Tastykake memories, because now they’re all we’ve got.
DEMS LOOKING OUT FOR AMERICANS
I wish some of these right-wing malcontents criticizing Obamacare would realize if they had their way the last 80 years we’d have no Social Security, no Medicare and no Medicaid. I’m sure a lot of these critics have benefited from those programs. I’m glad the Democrats are still looking out for the American people.
WHAT HAVE DEMOCRATS DONE?
I’m sitting here watching political ads for Democratic candidates, and as usual they don’t mention anything they’ve done, it’s just a bunch of empty buzzwords bashing Republicans and empty promises to save the world. They had two years at the federal level with the House, Senate and the presidency. Since they’ve had the Senate and the presidency and they haven’t done anything. Maybe that’s why they can’t talk about any accomplishments in their campaign ads.
To “Stay Out Of My Trash,” keep in mind, once you put something out in the trash it’s not your property anymore.
MORNING TV PROGRAMS LAME
To the callers talking about morning TV programs, I don’t know how anyone could have ever watched them since the day they started. They’ve always been incredibly lame and watered down. Maybe I shouldn’t have made this call, I’m afraid Matt Lauer will start haunting my nightmares.
POWER CONSOLIDATION WORRIES
It’s getting scary how the federal government has been consolidating its power with a lot of bureaucratic agencies — the Bureau of Land Management, the IRS, the Census Bureau and so on. I don’t like what I’m seeing.

COUNTY’S HIGHWAYS A MESS
So does PennDOT still come through Delaware County? In the many years I’ve lived here I can’t remember ever seeing state highways in this bad of shape: 352, 252, 420, 320 — take your pick, they’re all filled with potholes and bad having.
