I think I'm going to go into the street-paving business. It will make me a millionaire. But first I will have to change to a D.
Diminishing returns still are functioning economics after 8 years of Hussein?
Who’da guessed?
Does Krugman know?
Once again, the democrats prove they don’t understand simple economics (supply/demand).
The more you tax, the less people will buy and tax revenue goes down.
You betcha: increasing prices lead to declining demand, so the thing to do is make the product more expensive. Classic liberal economic thoufht
Someone has to pay those state pensions. Every meter-maid & mother’s helper jobs at town hall now end their careers with millions of dollars in cash & medical benefits.
They don’t care. When they don’t collect “enough” it’s your fault. This attitude is exactly what brought Republicans to power.
Ya, well at least you got it right that you're dense.
Politicians NEVER have enough of other people’s money to spend.
So where did the money go that was in the “trust” fund?
In addition to this automatic increase, the state of New Jersey also taxes an extra 7% on the purchase of any hydrocarbons used in manufacturing. So I have a small resin business and we get this payable every quarter. Makes us non-competitive with other states producers.
Result we will shut the plant down and move to West Virginia. Found also that to run the steam boiler we have to contend with 82 pages of regulations in New Jersey. In West Virginia the rules are on one page.
Move we must. Who will be left to pay for the “grifters”, Atlas shrugged?
A little more weight on the scale to help people decide the leave the Garden State.
They really don’t. Ask one if labor is a commodity, and if the price of a commodity goes up, do you buy more or less of it. I’ll bet you can’t find one that knows the answer.
To the Dems......every tax needs to be higher, they put their money in ‘Foundations’ and ‘non-profits’, taxes......no problem!
Behold amoral, corrupt, power-hungry Liberals at their best which is ruining everything they touch while putting taxpayers money into their own self-serving back pockets.
At some point, the people will wake up and realize they were stolen blind.
Another Democrat courageously raising taxes.
That’s what the New Jersey voters wanted, so I hope they get it good and hard.
Christie fatigue coupled with a never ending MSM drumbeat
over the fake Bridgegate scandal fooled a majority of dopes
in this state to elect this insufferable grade A fancy ninny -
a Wall St exec with a extremely poor grasp on economics who almost makes the execrable lib governors nearby look good. NJ used to be the state with the cheap gas youd always fill up in now you just keep driving through
Welcome to WV, the business climate is improving here.
Enjoy the ramps and peperoni rolls, oh and the shine too.
In Calif the gas tax is or may be going up .63 cents a gallon if the democrats have their way.
Same old song for over 100 years...
But wait a minute. Lower gas tax revenues mean that people are driving less and/or using more fuel efficient vehicles. Isn’t that what the statists want?
