The Corzine administration thinks New Jersey is not overtaxed.
From their own lips:
New Jersey Treasurer David Rousseau answer to this simple question, posed by Assembly Republican Budget Officer Joseph Malone (R-30) last week:
JM: In your observation, do you feel New Jerseyans are overtaxed?
DR: No.
Rousseau recognizes that we have the largest real estate taxes in the country but still does not think we’re overtaxed.
That’s what happens when politicians see you, the tax payer, as a blank check.
The question New Jersey’s equivalent of the IRS has for the state’s citizenry is simple. “Open up, are those gold fillings?”
Taxpayers are fleeing. The Tipping Point looms.
“That’s what happens when politicians see you, the tax payer, as a blank check.”
Do you think any politician has ever seen the private citizen as anything else? Honestly now, dear?
You say you want to cure our “irremediable,” “structural” deficits? You want an end to interference with freedom of expression, freedom of travel, and the rights of private property? You want laws in plain English, comprehensible to a nine-year-old? You want there to be few enough of those laws that we can memorize the entire corpus — and that the police and courts can enforce them evenhandedly? You want no more halls-of-power bickering that serves only to fill the pages of the “newspaper” while tyrants and their pirate auxiliaries nip at our flanks?
Easily done: Hang them all. In public. Televised. Every sitting officeholder, every bureaucrat, and every salaried employee of either major political party. Without indictment, trial, or any other form of “due process.” They constitute the largest and most blatant conspiracy against freedom and justice the world has ever seen — and they claim we want it that way. Sentence will be suspended for any who immediately resign their positions and take unpaid jobs at an abandoned-animal shelter.
And yes, I do mean ALL!
Unfortunately, we keep re-electing these…people.
