Think it through.

First, almost every state in which the gas industry is running is taxing them. Mainly to support the infrastructure revolving around that industry. So taxing the gas industry is nothing new, but NOT taxing it pretty much is.

Second, Delaware charges no income tax on corporations not operating within the state, so the gas industry would still be taxed anyway. By your 'increasing tax revs' I assume you're referring to employees, but the industry has to pay for itself as well.

That explain my logic?

No, it doesn't. What I don't follow is in knowing if you advocate for Delaware's business-favorable environment for creating jobs. I take it that you think PA should tax the gas companies. While I'm not opposed to doing so, it's counter-intuitive to suggest burdening a job producing activity within a thread that laments the widening trade deficit (and inherent need for more domestic output of goods).
