Taxes in Jersey have gone up almost every year since 2000. The tax burden in Jersey, per resident, are nearly TWICE AS MUCH AS THE NEXT HIGHEST TAX STATE. The only issue is which taxes the Dem run Jersey legislators are going to raise. Most Dems are opposing any increase in the sales tax (political reprisal) and are working to boost already high property tax rates (gee, that's a surprise). Republicans have presented detailed budget cuts of over $2 Billion. Corzine's plan increases spending by $2.8 Bil. How in the hell can they be $5 Billion apart on spending (State spending was around $17 Bil last year)?!? Jersey has the worst State budget crises of any State not devastaed by last year's hurricanes. New Jersey fiscal policy has always been compared to a "beer barrel tapped at both ends... one end flows into Philly, the other into NYC." I don'tk know how true that is but it's a f***ed-up state, that's for sure. Uncle F***ing Junior could do a better job. |
