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.
I resent your calling me a Marxist because you disagree with me. Name calling is inappropriate. I'm sorry you interpreted my comments that way. I didn't call you a marxist. If you re-read my post, I said you had marxist tendencies. You know, from those based on ability - to those based on need. You seem to be advocating that because people are wealthier, they should shoulder the burder for those that are not. I couldn't agree more. We need to send a message to generations to come, that there will be a minimum contribution to the government that one must pay regardless of income, because we aren't going to play "soak the rich". The rich are the ones creating jobs.
