There has to be more than one Santa Claus. Has to be.

every time I watch that GIF with the boat hard banking - followed by chaos and many broken bones - sadly, I laugh

Chris Christie is big enough to be two Santa Claus's.

It's OK to act like a non-caring, cold, and callous person every once in a while. Enjoy it. You have just moved one step to the right.

You forgot "Get the hell out".

Damned straight it does. That's one handsome man.

Much ado about nothing...

Who earns minimum wage anyway? HS kids working at Mickey D's (who are supported by M&D and are working to pay for car insurance)? Waiters and maids who receive tip income (which probably isn't reported and therefore isn't taxed)? The most unskilled or uneducated (who qualify for every other free government handout there is thereby putting in a net negative tax bracket)?

The only reason minimum wage is significant- and the democrats fight so hard for it- is because many union pay scales are tied to it. Period.

What the article fails to mention is exactly how MUCH those 16,122 families ARE paying into the system....

And in reading the comments, it appears the "tax cut" is really just a non-continuation of a millionaire's tax that sunsetted....but don't let facts get in the way of a good hangin'...

Or how come there are only 16,122 families clearing a million in New Jersey?

I've known many big earners that have moved from NJ because of the tax bite. There are many others that set up family LLCs outside New Jersey (like in Fla) to park their money to avoid NJ's high taxes.

The reason Christie is lowering the taxes on big earners is to stop the big earners from leaving the state.

I have no problem with that...
but you don't then raise taxes on the bottom - do you..?

I guess you have to make revenue up somehow, but your link is the first time I ever heard about that.

Lots of Jersey expats moving to Delaware. You can tell them by their rudeness, lousy driving, questionable hygiene and garlic breath.

None of this passes the smell test.

Perhaps...
But Mr. Christie needs to be VERY careful
He's a loud talker about how "EVERYBODY" needs to be sacrificing (except politicians of course)
But literally his mantra has been consistent - over and over
IF he gets busted doing sh!t like this - his days will end quickly
