Pennsylvania taxpayers happily provide a home for their Governor.
That modest brick residence was foolishly built on the flood plain
along the river in Harrisburg.
It's supposed to be a showplace
for everyone to admire.
It's a worth symbol of the governor's
important position.
Are you aware that we taxpayers also own 78 other mansions. They aren't for the governor or for high ranking dignitaries. These are mansions for prison bosses. Taxpayers give luxury rent-free housing to each state prison superintendent and deputy. The taxpayers pay all the utilities. The housing is furnished every luxury and tended by prisoners as slaves who cater to master's every whim. Nobody else, not legislators or judges or executives, not guests or visitors or citizens are lavished with such costly fringe benefits. No wonder the prison bosses lie and cheat and connive to hang on to their jobs. What do you think such a perk costs the taxpayers? It must be at least $2,000,000 for the housing, $15,000 a month for the utilities, half a million dollars a year for unpaid local property taxes. Who can estimate the value of the prisoner slave labor? Okay, it's not quite fair to call the prisoners slaves. If they're good and ass-kissing enough, the prisoners get paid 19 cents! With a plumber worth $80/hour and a gardener paid $30, 19 cents is hardly pay at all. In all, in a year, the "prison mansion perk" costs us several million dollars. How would you like the taxpayers to give you a rent-free mansion with all utilities and servants. Just stoop to being someone like John alias Jack Kerestes and you'll get it.
