Interestingly, even if rural PA supports the cities, it is largely the opposite on a national scale.
That could be misleading. If their including subsidies to huge agricultural conglomerates, the money would appear to be going to North Dakota but it's really going to the owners in the NYC, Chicago, L A, etc.

The deal is this ... Phila and Pittsburgh need bailing out for a number of reasons ... particularly revisions to the school systems, upgrading of equipment, addition of new programs and so on.

Not to mention law firms moving into opportunity zones' to avoid taxes.

Windfall seen for wealthy in new 'opportunity zones'

More likely a condo or mistress or something like that. Or maybe they could donate it to a worthy cause...and take the tax deduction at the Federal level.

Those rural people will be gone eventually if the Philadelphia suburbs continue to move westward.

And they can do what displaced rural people have always done - move to the city. Thus completing the cycle of life.

Well, the suburbs of Philadelphia and New York City already touch each other, as well as Washington and Baltimore...sooner or later, so will Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Anyone notice the SUI tax went up by a copious amount also? Sneaked that one in there, they did.
