Sweeney said “we can’t tax any more."

Slave, get back on the Plantation. Tax increases is what We do as DemocRATS!

>> Skeptical you should be. He is a part of the problem

But a committed demagogue wouldn’t argue against the absurd “platinum platinum plus”

This guy is obviously choking on the NJ Democrat vomit.

I love the Garden State, but the assholes that run it should be sleeping with the fishes.

Mugged by reality.

Ran out of other people's money.

He may not want to raise taxes but the rest of them sure do. Our governor even ran on the policy of “tax the rich”.

Sweeney’s power base is south Jersey; he should be secure. That is also why he takes this position; as bad off as northern NJ is, south Jersey is in really bad shape. The cash cow of casinos has crumbled, and with competition right across the Delaware River it is unlikely it can ever recover.

Platinum Platinum Plus healthcare?

What is that? Concierge medicine? Sheesh.

All these pension problems nationwide will ultimately be “solved “ by the .fedgov printing the money. Just watch. I guarantee it.

Yes and he was one of those politicians.

He was one of the biggest cheerleaders for higher taxes.

I know most conservatives are stuck on being consumers and all that happy talk BS but I personally starve the beast when I can.

Hit the accelerator, tap the brakes gently—same result.

Kaboom.

Good for you, we do also. Hitting them in the pocket book is the only thing that will actually make a difference. We have no problem sacrificing a little “convenience” to try and make the future better for our Grandchildren.

I wish more could see how easy and important this really is...

In my neck of the woods it means anything and everything elective is covered with very little or no copay.

Alberta’s Child and I were talking about this yesterday on a previous thread. This is likely the result of the Republican’s 2017 tax plan. Democrats can’t hide any longer behind shifting state taxes to federal and subsidizing their largess. Now, when Democrats raise taxes in these s**t-hole states they run, there’s nowhere to hide.

While it sucks to not be able to deduct their enormous tax burden, this is an indicator that the Republican’s tax plan is working.

I thought Jersey was going to legalize weed and that would take care of everything?

Trump’s tax cut pulling deductibility of state and local taxes is finally forcing tough choices to be made.

I don't see what Sweeney's problem is. Can't he just pass the debt on to future generations like the rest of the politicians and continue paying off the unions and the Mob like a good pol?

This guy will never win another election in New Jersey. He'll either lose and his house will burn down or somebody will find his corpse in the Secaucus dump.

Yep. He’s a huge part of the problem.

Nope. He’s just talking what he thinks some of his constituents want to hear. He’s a major part of the problem in NJ and his family is corrupt as they come. He’ll continue to win elections until he’s replaced by a dem POC.
