Christie is “trimming the FAT” in New Jersey — Ronald Reagan style, and Republicans love it. Christie’s axe has already lopped off over $800 million in state aid for schools. He’s chopped away property tax rebates for seniors, the disabled and people earning less than $75,000 annually. He’s fired 1,300 state workers and cut child care subsidies by almost $20 million. Millions of residents of New Jersey are going to feel the pinch as Christie tightens everybody’s belt.
But as it turns out, it’s not everybody’s belt that’s going to get tightened.
Because in the best tradition of Reagan Republicanism, Chris Christie has decided to top his hack and slash budget proposal with a whopping $1 billion dollar tax cut for the top 2% of New Jersey earners. Those racking in more than $400,000 a year will actually get more money; while the poor and middle class of the state eat up the meat and potatoes of Christie’s so-called ‘fiscal conservatism.’ [ READ MORE ]
