"The high cost of living in the Northeast is not news," Brendan Gilfillan, a spokesman for Gov. Jon Corzine, said in an e-mail statement. "But it is one of the reasons Gov. Corzine has worked tirelessly to help poor and working-class residents of New Jersey by implementing the Earned Income Tax Credit, expanding S-CHIP and increasing — and sustaining — property tax relief."
"Gilfillan said Corzine also had cut costs by reducing the government workforce, though he noted people would continue to leave New Jersey as baby boomers retired."
What NONSENSE!
Corzine has raised our sales tax to 7% from 6% and extended that tax to previously UNTAXED items.
There has been NO PROPERTY TAX RELIEF.
Earned Income tax credit is a JOKE.
The S-CHIP would be GOVERNMENT health care. The DOCTORS and medical professionals would have the GOVERNMENT as their employers and it would be awful. Private insurance is available to people making 82K. Trying to fund this through TAXES on cigarettes is ridicuous - more people are quitting so AGAIN, TAXES would be RAISED to fund the GOVERNMENT healthcare.
He'd also like ILLEGALS to have healthcare.
It's not just babyboomers retiring it working folks that are tired of this crap. So don't blame it on retirees besides isn't it a shame that many can NOT retire here.
When the Libs invade all the states and make them crappy to live in, where will everyone go?
Until everybody understands that absolutely...the politician who promises the most "free stuff" to the masses will always win...and we who love freedom will continue to lose.
I am afraid that our "one man, one vote" system is going to do us in.
As serious a threat as radical islam is, it don't compair with the threat that comes from our own voting welfare class.
No politician dares to suggest that some restrictions be placed on the vote...say.....that someone actually has to have paid some income taxes....in order to vote.
Our so called property tax relief checks are now NEW income to be claimed on our 2007 Federal Income tax forms!!
I count the days to retirement and my son’s graduation and re-settlement.
mrs
the majority would move to another state
and vote
democrap again,
fouling up their new homes.
[It’s not just babyboomers retiring it working folks that are tired of this crap.]
It always baffles me that so many people vote democrat who continue to raise all taxes on the people. Of the 51% who would leave, I wonder how many voted democrat! I would really like to know.
Shouldn’t it read, “Most New Jersey Taxpapers Want to Move Out of State”?
