Roll Gov. Christie tape:http://www.app.com/article/20110126/NEWS/110126116/Christie-tells-Middletown-audience-NJ-needs-fiscal-discipline-reform
Policeman: “My salary went up 2%. And after the increase in my healthcare costs went in, do you know how much my check went up Sir? $4. How am I supposed to live on that?”
Gov. Christie: “Here’s the difference. You’re getting a paycheck. And there are 9% of the people in the state of NJ who are not.”
Thanks. That was good! I would have asked him, “How are you living now on what you made before the 2% raise? Keep it up.”
Welcome to Reality, liberals.

The cop forgot to mention that his base salary is 100k a year. In addition he earns tens of thousands of $ each year in OT. Much of the OT is not necessary. Cops in NJ use it as a slush fund to boost there fat salaries ever higher. They also get a cadillac health plan that is paid for by the taxpayers (although there is a bill which will require them to pay 1.5% of there salary).
