According to a right-wing columnist (I think George Will) taxes in NJ have gotten so high that millionaires have moved to New York, hardly a tax haven. So maybe taxes have already reached the stomach turning point. What to cut is a tricky subject: I don't think that drastically cutting union workers' wages, as attractive as that sounds, will be enough.
Nope, it was Boston College, hardly a right wing institution.
Unfortunately NJ is the state the rich flee and the unions fleece.
More like the state where the governor eats the kids and feeds the rich. Gov. Krispy has only been in office a few months and his approval rating has plummeted.

Oh and how about the lovely NJEA and it's $100 million war chest. They are a charming group.
Christie is refreshing because he is governing by doing what is right for the state not for re-election. I'll let you in on a secret, we have an $11 billion hole in the budget we need decisive action not rearranging the deck chairs. The union can throw a tantrum but we will cut spending.

It's no shock that you'd side with the rich and watch teachers get laid off and class sizes rise. Decisive action would be to RAISE TAXES not punt kids futures so folks in Alpine can keep their lawn furniture.

I side with the working class in the state. If the rich continue to flee guess who will be stuck holding the bag? Those who can't afford to leave.
By the way raising taxes in the past has done oh so much to help the problem. LOL.

I get it, so the answer is to cry uncle to the rich who threaten to leave and fleece the kids and the working class because they have no fiscal leverage. That's so republican.

By the way, trickle down has NEVER worked..LOL
Listen my friend, they are not threatening, they are leaving. READ THE BOSTON COLLEGE STUDY!
Taxing your way out of debt has never worked. Who is talking about trickle down? Do even know what that means?! Christie is cutting spending!
