Our problem is electing morons like Wolf to run the State. His master plan to revive PA was to tax the shit out of shale energy companies. Oops!!! That plan is DOA, as these companies will be going bankrupt over the next two years. He is a Democrat. Therefore, he will want to spend more of my money on useless shit. His new solution will be to tax the shit out of me and every other working Pennsylvanian so he can funnel money to his Democratic paradises of Philly and Pittsburgh. It’s for the children, don’t you know. That’s how you get re-elected in 2018. Low self esteem my fat ass. I have no esteem for idiots like Wolf and the rest of the bought off politicians in the bankrupt state capital of Harrisburg.

WASHINGTON – As he begins his tenure facing a $2 billion budget gap, struggling schools, and aging bridges and roads, Gov. Wolf said there’s another key area to improve: his state’s self-esteem.
“I think one of the responsibilities that leadership in Pennsylvania [has] to address head on – not only the structural issues in education, transportation, all those things, but also the psychological issues that keep us, hold us, back,” Wolf told other governors during a panel discussion of their states’ economic challenges. “So low self-esteem actually is a big problem.”
His comments came during a Saturday afternoon roundtable at a governors’ conference, and on Monday had Harrisburg buzzing. State Republicans poked fun at the Democratic governor, saying he should focus his attention elsewhere.
Wolf stood by his words Monday, though he didn’t use self-esteem. Instead, he cited an “excess of modesty.”
“The only people that really don’t believe that Pennsylvania should be the dominant state are Pennsylvanians,” Wolf said in an interview. “We have an excess of modesty, and in a lot of ways, modesty is a wonderful trait, but I think it keeps us from recognizing the amazing things that we are capable of, so I think we are an underachiever.”
At one point during Saturday’s panel at the National Governors Association conference, Wolf called self-esteem the state’s biggest economic problem.
When Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker chuckled and pointed to Pennsylvania’s highly touted universities, Wolf said he wasn’t aiming for a laugh. “We’re an underachiever,” Wolf said.
