So you think we should raise taxes on poor folks while the very top get huge tax breaks.What about Lonegan’s plan to eliminate the property tax rebates which currently is the only form of tax relief for home owners. Lonegan in my view is a nut case. You have a strange sense of fairness. Dude, you have marxists tendencies. A person that makes a lot of money is equal to a person that does not. Why shouldn't people making less money have to pay for their fair share of government services - whether its in the form of local services via property taxes, or state services funded through income taxes. I am so sick and tired of property tax rebates based on income. Tired of stimulus checks base on income. Tired of people making $25-30k making huge demands for services, as long as they don't have to pay for them.
How about this. If you pay no taxes, you don't get to vote. When we are truly all equally funding the system, then maybe these socialist scumbags won't keep getting elected. Until then, people like Corzine will just keep giving the goodies out to people that don't work, don't work to their full capacity by choice, have no initiative to better themselves and contribute to society - in return for their vote.
The rebate plan is far from perfect. The original intent of the income tax was for property tax relief but the politicians screwed things up and used the funds for other purposes.We have high taxes in New jersey because of the excessive costs for education. Every year towns and cities in New Jersey approve their school budgets which represent the greatest proportion of our property tax bills. Yet we all scream as if we had no control of the issue. But in fact we do because the people are too complacent about reducing the size of government and the size of the educational monopoly. I resent your calling me a Marxist because you disagree with me. Name calling is inappropriate.
