Gov. Phil Murphy is set Tuesday to unveil a state budget proposal -- his first -- that will include more than $1.5 billion in new revenue from taxes and closing loopholes, including a small spike in New Jersey's sales tax, NJ Advance Media has learned.

The extra revenue would also come from a proposed millionaires tax, closing tax loopholes used by corporations, and a plan to legalize marijuana, according to multiple sources briefed on the budget.

It baffles me, we just had a much needed tax cut to spark the economy and give people relief, and now all sorts of idiots are looking for “reasoned” tax increases.

H E L L . N O !

Want to see them get bumpkis when the millionaires leave the state.

Stupid, stupid socialists.

Don't worry, you're only getting stabbed with a small knife, not a big one.

NJ’s already stagnant economy will continue declining...

Can’t explain the monumental stupidity in Blue states. Must be the water or something.

My first guess is that they will hemorrhage more money from taxpayers staying away from the state for 183 days of the year (and becoming non-New Jersey residents) than they collect from all the tax increases.

My second guess is the state goes into bankruptcy within the next 4 years.

Jersey is a small state. People can readily cross the state line for big ticket items.

The last Democrat governor did the same thing.

The dumb b@stards in this state are the last ones to figure out that a sales tax is one of the most regressive taxes out there.

I blame it on the treachery.

They hate this nation, and still can’t forget their lost love “Communism”, and their desperate wish to reconcile before they die.

These are 1970s flower children. What drugs, alcohol, and free sex didn’t do to them, the Leftist ideology is.

Communists aren’t so much afraid of marching over the cliff, it’s just that they are never the ones to do it. Their subjects always pay the price.

Looks to me like this is the final wake up call to all those who, for whatever reason, didn’t leave the state.

In the "Mencken-ian" sense?
