Love NJ. The great schools have produced brilliant voters that elected exceptional politicians. Can't discount a good education. Winner, winner! Chicken dinner!

Just wondering if the new administration can find 1 tax to eliminate or reduce.

We should all be given breathing masks so they can charge us an air usage fee. Those who breath less will be charged less.

"Stay Tuned" as I said in another additional "tax" thread.

They're just warming up!

There are people in this state struggling financially, I actually met one yesterday and told this person not to expect for things to get any better.

Then the critics wonder why "x" amount of people have to not wanted to leave NJ.

NJ is great until certain politicians want to turn NJ into CA.

I'm awaiting more laws and regulations cutting into personal freedoms - I'm not crazy, just know they'll certainly try at least.

NJ has to pass some tax increases somewhere. The voters have to pay their bills. The tab has come due. They should raise the sales and gas tax and property taxes. That would be a good start to start paying the bills the voters ran up by way of their votes. They should increase tolls as well. Tear the band aid off and getting it done.

You could pay it if you want to, many will not.
People are fleeing CA for the same reasons.
At this rate NJ will become the CA of the east and that will be a shame.

Why not start cutting spending verses spending more - yeah a foreign idea beneath many.
The teachers union needs to go on a strict $ diet too.

User fee, right. It's not a user fee if the state isn't providing the service.

Ah, back to attacking the usual scapegoats, e.g. teachers.


How about no tax breaks for profitable corporations? No 30 year tax abatements?
