I wonder how many of those people in NJ voted Democrat to “teach Trump a lesson”.
...oh well.
Golly - the reduction of the sales tax by .15th of a percent was the big tradeoff for raising the gasoline tax last year - that break didn’t last long......
Yup. The full Mencken.
It just came down to 6.625% Jan 1. This was part of the deal with the rise in the gas tax. Do you think that will come down with the rise in sales tax? Of course not
Do Demonrats do anything other than raise taxes? On they do, infanticide, support ash fund foreign invaders, drugs etc.
“The fed’s giveth and the states taketh away.”
Another example of that is the Federal penalty for failing to purchase a health insurance policy was recently eliminated (at least for the time being), but the insurance companies wasted no time to lobby state legislatures and Governors in Blue states to slap a penalty of their own.
Don’t know where they are on that, but chances are good the states will capitulate and institute their own penalty tax as a gift to big insurance.
All this is really getting out of control.
Yeah, and the border state to the south, Delaware, has zero sales tax.
This is exactly what happened when Maryland imposed a millionaires tax a few years ago. It may have been for "fairness" but it cost the state money.
>>Doing what Democrats do: raise taxes!
***************************************
Yep. And to think, people willingly vote for this thievery.
Millionaires have been fleeing the state for around 20 years due to taxes. In fact in 2016, one man, David Tepper, a hedge fund guy moved to Florida and cost the NJ budget about 1%. The estimate is that he paid about 140 million annually in NJ taxes. Now he pays nothing.
Murphy apparently wants them all gone.
ROTFLOL
Illinois pot: "New Jersey kettle, you're black!"
Gotta keep that welfare state humming along.
Evidently the voters love it.
They both suck.. NJ more so.
As a lifelong resident of NJ, I have to chuckle at your post, as much as it hurts to feel the sting of the truth of it. I can tell you that for me, voting has been an endless exercise in hopeless futility. But soon I will be voting with my feet, and will get out of the socialist craphole that this once great state has become.
Excellent...Made your bed...Now sleep in it!
Meanwhile, Idaho passed a cut in taxes.
gov‘t unions will
suck the last
drop of blood
from taxpayers
Exactly - tax cuts take us out of malaise and Jersey decides to put her people back into the crap pot...
He said legal pot would cover budget shortfalls.? Guessing that protecting illegals will be more costly than he imagined..
Just doing what Democrats do...thanks freeloaders.
