Letter to the editor: Income tax a penalty for success
An income tax, flat or otherwise, is not a tax on wealth. It is a tax on getting wealthy. With a graduated tax, the better job somebody does meeting customer needs, the more tax. Essentially, they are penalized for their success. I’ve come to like the Pennsylvania income tax. The...

Letter to the editor: Appreciating Penguin greats

Letter to the editor: Senate must take action on gun violence
I read the essay Meredith Elizalde wrote about her son Nick, who was killed during a mass shooting at his school’s football game in September 2022 (“State leaders disdain gun victims,” Feb. 9, TribLive).
