I have to wonder why so many people in New Jersey complain about the taxes and yet do nothing about it.  In fact, after complaining, I usually ask and get the reply: "Well it's just politics as usual here."  Come on a folk that’s not good enough.  It's time we did something.

In the recent state shutdown, we saw two opposing factions of liberals fighting not over how to reduce taxes, but which taxes to impose on the citizens of this state.  Our governor Jon Cor[rupt]zine shut down the non-essential state offices.  Yet, these state employees were in no danger of losing one penny of their wages.  Nice paid vacation over the holiday weekend.

Tell me in what private sector will you see retroactive pay as we did here? None.  I am going to do a lot of research into the benefits that our state employees receive, because it is one of the main causes for high taxes. 

I lived in California for many years, and while there went through a tax revolt back in the early 1970"s.  Because of that revolt we were able to roll back property taxes and keep the state, and local governments from raises our taxes without voter approval.  While California may be a land of liberals at least its citizens stood up against taxes.  We can do it here too. 

We need to stop the liberal payment of employee benefits and pensions for state employees.  It's time our state government started acting fiscally responsible.  This is one of the very few states that continue to operate in the red.  People and businesses are leaving because of high taxes.  Senior citizens find it difficult to own homes that they have had for 30 years or more because of high property taxes.

I need the help of everyone in New Jersey.  We need to write every elected official and say NO MORE TAXES!
