Quote of the Day: "They will be forced to gas up the chainsaw"

Christie gets it (0.00 / 0)

You can't pay what you do not have. The problem for Christie is a declining tax base, loss of population, declining property values, and most importantly a pension plan that's basically bankrupt .Christie realizes that we must  quit paying the unproductive and stop taxing the productive .

If you don't tax the productive, (0.00 / 0)

you won't be getting any revenue.   So I think you need to rethink your philosophy here.

pension plan that's basically bankrupt

BTW if you want a modern economy, someone has to educate the workforce.  And I'm afraid private schools cannot put out enough high-tech workers to replace those lost to spending cuts in the public system.

You must be a millionaire (0.00 / 0)

He gets it so well that the middle, working and lower income people and senior citiznes are paying for milionaire tax cuts!  We all should feel the pain, if necessary, including high income people.
