NWordell- House of Representatives Pennsylvania Republican

Jason Altmire is the representative from my state that I most agree with. Here is a link to his site: [] Five interesting facts about Pennsylvania: Five facts about Pennsylvania that relate to my issues: Issue 1: Economy Position: I think that the government should give some help to people to fix the economy, but I believe that it is mostly the people’s responsibility. In my opinion, the country thrives when everyone works hard. Each individual person needs to help themselves.
 * 1) The state beverage is milk
 * 2) Lancaster County has a larger population than the entire state of Wyoming
 * 3) The state dog is a Great Dane
 * 4) Lycoming County has a larger area that Rhode island
 * 5) Pennsylvania has two counties that have no traffic lights
 * 1) Over 90,000 people are unemployed in PA
 * 2) It has a prison just for illegal immigrants
 * 3) Pennsylvania has a growing high-tech economy
 * 4) The average income per capita is about 40,000 dollars
 * 5) 12% of people in Pennsylvania are below the poverty line

Issue 2: Jobs Position: I think that the main reason for our bad economy is jobs and the high unemployment rate. The two main reasons that most people don’t have jobs are either they are lazy and feel they can live off of unemployment, or they cannot find a job because there are not enough. If more people had jobs, the economy would be better

Issue 3: Immigration Position: Illegal immigration from Mexico is a very big problem in the United States. Mexican cross the border into the United States and take American jobs but pay no taxes.I know they are just trying to get a better life, but instead of paying coyotes to take them over the border illegally, they should pay the government with that money and become legal.

Now I would like to say a little bit about my bill. I believe that it holds the solution to fix our economy. It will work in three parts. It talks about how the government should tax differently, what it should do about jobs, and what it should do about illegal immigration. Take a look at HB67
