This is rich comming from a man who uses the system to skip paying high property taxes himself.

Farm Aid? Springsteen And Bon Jovi Pay Practically Zero Dollars In Taxes On Their 100s Of Acres | rock nyc

Springsteen owns 200 acres in New Jersey. He pays $5K a year in taxes.

That is how much I pay for a 120k house on less than 1 acre.

Yep. Saw that on Stossel the other day. I think they have honey bees on these hundreds of acres so they get tax breaks?? They had a neighbor with 1/4 acre who pays $6,000 a year in taxes while Springsteen pays next to nothing on his acres.

I love Springsteen but find it rather odd that he is bitching about Christie when he is taking a tax break on hundreds of acres of land. The taxes could go a long way toward helping the poor and downtrodden that seen to concern him so much.

Kind of hypocritical doncha think??

Moron there are not enough rich people to get anyone elected.

Maybe you should walk the walk instead of knee jerk yapping about what you don't know...

That is a good start. But... He should give until it hurts... or else the state should just take his money from him. He's very rich and can afford to pay. People are suffering!!

New Jersey's highway's are jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive, while he lives in a mansion of glory. It's just not right. There's no place left to hide. Bruce needs to do more for the country that has given him so much.

you're babbling

Yes, Bruce's lyrics do that sometimes...

Some people live in their own little clueless world



How General Electric pays no tax at all and actually MAKES $3.2billion from the rest of us
General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt was hired this year by President Obama to advise on future corporate tax changes

General Electric paid no tax at all in America last year and even managed to get a $3.2billion ‘rebate’ from the government.
The utilities giant allocated just 7.4 per cent of its $5.1billion U.S. profits in tax - around a third of what others companies its size are paying.
But through a complex series of measures GE, which is America's largest company, will not even have to hand that over.


In a regulatory filing just a week before the Japanese disaster put a spotlight on the company’s nuclear reactor business, G.E. reported that its tax burden was 7.4 percent of its American profits, about a third of the average reported by other American multinationals. Even those figures are overstated, because they include taxes that will be paid only if the company brings its overseas profits back to the United States. With those profits still offshore, G.E. is effectively getting money back.

Such strategies, as well as changes in tax laws that encouraged some businesses and professionals to file as individuals, have pushed down the corporate share of the nation’s tax receipts — from 30 percent of all federal revenue in the mid-1950s to 6.6 percent in 2009.
