"In two short decades, under both Democratic and Republican administrations, the state has gone from a financial powerhouse to a financial basket case,"

It's a stretch to label Kean and Whitman Republicans. Nonetheless, during that time, the NJ State Legislature has remained firmly in Democrat hands.

What does he mean tax 401(k) accounts? We already pay taxes on the money we put in, and then on the $$ that comes out.

Taxing 401(k) accounts is a direct attack on the working class. Unrealistic that this is even proposed... but then again, those that rely on big daddy gum'ment for basic survival, have no idea what a 401(k) even is.

Contributions to 401K's are pre-tax. But Corzine and the voters of New Jersey are weenies.

That's right. I stopped working and contributing 7 years ago and I'd forgotten that. Thanks for that reminder!

Why not cut spending instead? Are there that many folk on the Jersey state payroll who are essential? Of course not.

And what's this bull durham about taxing 401(k) accounts? That's crazy. That's like drilling holes in the bottom of a boat to let out the water faster.

Stupid. Just stupid.

Why wait ? Go now before they tax the husband, house, furniture, pets and anything else you may think you own. After all, in this capitalist country, we don't own anything, we simply rent it from the government.

"Our residents are moving to Pennsylvania

Philly realtors used to call these people "the Jim McGreevy fan club"

FYI, when republican Bob Ehrlich took office in MD, there was a 2 billion dollar deficit which the democrats said could only be closed by tax increases. Ehrlich vetoed every attempt at a tax increase and now the budget is balanced.

For people mad a GW Bush, ok spending is out of control, but he never increased taxes and cut them quite a bit.

I wonder if anyone is advising Corzine to attempt to eliminate the Bergen County Blue Laws (don't know if they have that power, though)...The big Box stores would love that, the proposed clothing tax would have a year of Sundays to bleed monies into the state coffers and Bergen would become a traffic congested nightmare on the only day you can reasonably drive from point to point without it taking a year and a day.

I expect they will be hiking the tolls on the GSP and the turnpike again too.

If this clown goes down that road, he'll give my Mother In Law more reason to move out of the Garbage State and move in with us.

I've got a pending nightmare and I moved out of NJ a decade ago. Thanks a lot, John.

Thanks for condemning the innocent with the guilty. Do you take pleasure in seeing your fellow FReepers from the Garden State (Who did not vote for this idiot) suffer?

The Democrat stategy is to raise taxes within a few months of a governor's term. Then, by the time his reelection comes around the average boob voter will have forgotten about it. If Republicans try to remind voters that taxes were raised they are accused of running attack ads and negative campaigning.

Here in Pa. Rendell raised the state income tax right after he took office and people I talk to don't even remember it. Of course, the Republicans can't use it against him because they controlled both houses of the legislature and were willing accomplises.

Don't wait! Come on down to Texas, now! Once your son sees all of the beautiful Texas ladies here, he'll forget about NJ.

I understand they are actually using the logic this is to "prevent" a property tax increase. Corzine is "protecting" us from raising property tasxes by taxing everything else. Cut the damn budget!

Here in Texas its called; "get out the vote." I once lived in Jersey (Spring Lake), the Republicans have a real presence but, unfortunately, republicans also have a complacency problem.

Again, its called; "get out the vote"...some of y'all just sat your arses and let that P_O_S take the election - and the state.
