6% tax rate, those 369 workers would bring in $909,600 a year in tax revenue to the state.

I realize it is not the only consideration, but it does not seem like something that is going to pay off anytime soon
I would guess the employee taxes to NJ would be the smaller portion of revenue for NJ.

we shouldnt be taxing corporations to begin with. attract to corporations for their jobs. hit them up with fees for actual government expenses. collect revenue from the income of the employees.

And... the 9 new jobs figure is a little misleading. I think that I read that 66 exisiting jobs would als be moving to this facility from NY.

Good suggestion. I like it. By simply doing business in the state, the corporation is already doing New Jersey and its residents a huge favor. There should be no corporate taxation at all. How green a pasture would we become if that were the case?

Assume we eliminate the state corporate tax, how do we make up the revenue loss? We need to answer that before considering somethink like this.... it should be READY AIM FIRE, not READY FIRE AIM

It would almost certainly attract more businesses to NJ. That would lead to all kinds of good.

Can we quantify that? Probably impossible.

What is your solution to fix the existing problem? You are talking about idealogy, but it brings no solution to the table. "Aggressive tax cuts" are not feasible when the state is in such poor shape

At some point you gotta stop crying over spilled milk, realize what the situation is, and work out a way to fix it
Ever consider cutting spending ?? Jeez...................

We do not need to make up for the revenue loss. We need to eliminate illegitimate government functions. The revenues should not be generated in the first place, so cutting them should have no effect, other than restoring a proper balance that should have been there in the first place. Let's FIRE and see what happens. The READY, AIM part in this context is just an excuse to maintain the illegitimate and unworkable statist/collectivist status quo.

Or a Bush and say "reducing taxes on job creators will free up money for them to hire more workers."

Works both ways... at least be honest about that.
