THE WILMINGTON SHAKEDOWN! A SIMPLE THREE-STEP GUIDE TO TAKING PA TAXPAYERS TO THE CLEANERS
HARRISBURG, PA – Now that Pennsylvania Democrat Tom Wolf has bought the party’s nomination for governor, the Corbett-Cawley campaign released a handy guide to help show the millionaire how to shake down Pennsylvania taxpayers to fund a run for governor. This simple three-step guide makes it possible to see how you can sell your company down the river at the expense of taxpayers and then come back to use it as a personal piggy bank in order to buy your party’s nomination for governor.
Step 1. Sell your Delaware-based family company – a company that you allegedly care so much about – down the river for $20 million to an investment firm who is funded with $41 million of State Employee Retirement System (SERS) money in a leveraged buyout; proceed to watch company fall into financial disarray. Go on to Harrisburg and fight to raise taxes on hardworking Pennsylvanians (Exhibit A).
Exhibit A:
“The fund's partial buyout of Wolf's firm benefited him and his two cousins, but it has been a loss so far for the fund's investors, the largest of which is Pennsylvania's underfunded State Employees Retirement System (SERS).” –The Philadelphia Inquirer
Step 2. Buy back into your company at a bargain price (with millions of dollars more in assistance from Pennsylvania taxpayers), and then use your interest in that company as collateral to take out a $4.45 million dollar loan in an attempt to buy an election despite hypocritically campaigning for campaign finance reform (Exhibit B).

Step 3. Be a millionaire who pays a single digit tax rate on the millions of dollars you make each year, and then spend your fortune conning the people of Pennsylvania into thinking you’re just a typical Jeep-drivin’ average Joe (Exhibit C).
