Without spending cuts to at least match, those "tax cuts" are simply future massive tax increases to support the debt that Bush & Co. are piling onto our backs.
no surprise here, democraps run the state. big budgets, out-of-control spending, budget gimmicks, selling GO Bonds to fund the budget, Christmas-tree items, pork, business taxes, hotel fees, fees on tires, etc.
"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."
not sure where you are but 401K money goes into the account in Pretax dollars
we only pay when we take it out.
Not quite, Tom...for the most part, I think I'm milquetoast. However, I let them know when they're nearing the "Danger Zone", and with a couple of exceptions, my two oldest kids (18 & 16) know when it's time to reassess their situations, and take appropriate corrective actions.
Little ole Nathan turns 4 next month, and he's way ahead of the curve. I figure I have another 9 years to enjoy him before he becomes a teenager. Fortunately, the older two will (hopefully) be grown up by then, and realize that the old man was doing things the right way.
Take care,
Rich
Not exactly 'ALL knowing' BUT knowing ENOUGH to get the F#@K out of New 'all corrupt, all liberal' Jersey! YEP - sure do!!
Doesn't sound any different from the federal government under the Republicans these past 5 years.
yep, not different at all, it's just that the US govt. can print and "borrow" more money at the federal reserve and can sell bonds for billions to RED China. China can cripple us at any time without firing one bullet.
There was no sales or income tax increase, but Maryland hiked the state property tax more than 50%, raised tolls, and tacked on new fees or increased old ones all over the place to a total tune of about $800 million a year.
All of this new revenue was poured directly into the bottomless pit that is the Thornton plan.
Right, like the temporary tolls on the parkway.
LG - so glad we moved ping!
Totally incorrect. The pubs in washington increased spending and cut taxes. The Dems in nj increased taxes and increased spending even more.
The pubs in washington increased spending >>
and the party is proud of that? an almost trillion dollar prescription boondoggle, pork galore in all states, the largest budget in the history of the usa, more domestic spending than lbj and clinton.
I'm not proud of the gop spending. But cut taxes and spend is better than the democrat plan of increase taxes and spend even more.
Hahahaaa...! New Jersey loves socialism and taxes - - just look at the corrupt scum they elect, over and over. They can handle all those tax increases, no problem. In fact, New Jersey is the Kevin Bacon of the United States. "Thank you sir may I have another?"
for what it is worth, this email is from the Ehrlich reelection campaign
Here’s are just some of the facts on Governor Ehrlich’s stewardship of the state:

Our state is now fully employed, with unemployment rates at 3.9% (and 9 counties coming in under 3%!)
Welfare rolls are at their lowest levels since the 1960’s as more Marylanders move from welfare to work
The Maryland business community’s confidence in the state is at a 10 year high
The Chesapeake Bay Restoration Act and the Corsica River Project are just two examples of historic progress on restoring the Bay
K-12 education is being funded at historic levels
Creation of the Maryland Department of Homeland Security
Cabinet-level Office of Disabilities
Tax on Clothes? What an ass
