If you live in New Jersey



Governor elect Phil Murphy, and two New Jersey Senators, complained to one another for an hour long phone conversation, about the pending Republican income tax law. Two NJ senators that have been sitting in Congress for quite a while and showed continued allegiance to Barack Obama’s taxation approach yet have witnessed a year’s GDP and employment growth under Newly Elected President Trump. A growth that is directly opposite to the last eight years of Obama. When did either Senator or their predecessors pose solutions for the Federal income tax or out control Federal Budget? When did the Democrats of Congress in the Previous eight years attempt to pass legislation favorable to the GDP.
In NJ, in 1974 an income tax was started to repair our school funding problem. Today we pay most of our property tax for the school funding. Our property taxes are among the highest in the nation.  Of the last seven elected NJ governors, four were Democrats and three were Republicans. None of these have fixed the property tax or school funding problems. Look at the term of our astute Senators and their predecessors. Every election, Democrats and Republicans of their Party’s mold, acknowledge the NJ taxation curse. They all increase spending and taxation.
Democrats Brendan Byrne, James Florio, James McGreevy, Jon Corzine; and Republicans Thomas Kean, Christine Whitman, and Chris Christie, have not solved the State’s high taxation, funding, or property tax disease. Look closely at the State’s Assembly and Senate, where there is very little difference.
When households review their financial problems they chose to cut or delay spending. I guess, our NJ voters do not understand when they elect the people who are just like them.
I'm certain New Yorker's and Californian's are of the same ilk.
