If Harrisburg isn't going to pay to fund SEPTA, Philly shouldn't have to send its tax money out to pay for those giant wicker man statues they burn people in to bless the harvest or whatever they do out in Schuylkill county.

This is the general theme of the last two years of the Democratic Party. As Dostoevsky put it: your worst crime is that you have betrayed yourself for nothing. They think they are making hardnosed sacrifices for leverage when theyβre really being sold seashells and trinkets
