We told you yesterday about the proposal from Democratic Legislative leaders of both houses to have a one-year surcharge on the income tax of those making more than $1 million per year to pay for property tax rebates and prescription drug benefits for senior citizens. Here is how Speaker Oliver drew the contrast:"We don't believe that 600,000 older adults should be subjected to shared pain and shared sacrifice when one half of one percent of the top wage earners of this state are being asked for nothing," Not Surprisingly, Christie said he would veto the proposal. The Democrats should send him the bill and make him veto it. Then they should continue to draw the contrast over who the Governor is fighting for. I will say that I hope this is the line in the sand for state Democrats, because it won't make much sense if they keep compromising with themselves, while the Governor just keeps saying no until he gets what he wants. |
