If there's one thing that's going to stall out the Pittsburgh/Rust Belt rennisance it's pension problems. Who is going to want to move to a place where they get taxed heavily for services they don't receive? This isn't the libertarian argument on taxes because from the perspective of someone moving to Pittsburgh (or anyplace else in the rust belt) it's tax money going into a black hole.<br /><br />I have had the idea that the Marcellus shale royalties should be used to prop up the pension funds but that won't help the entire rust belt and I don't know how that would even begin to work.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903477797150798378noreply@blogger.com
