An income tax reduction sounds peachy...but what services will they have to cut in order to pay for it? Will they have to fire policemen, firemen and teachers, their favorite targets? Will street lights be cut off as they have been in so many cities around the country? Will police forces have to tell their citizens to just buy better security for their homes because they won't be able to respond quickly? What's the trade-off?
perhaps we should wait to find out what, if any, services would need to be altered/reduced in order to pay for the cuts, before we jump to any wild conclusions in either direction?
Just sayin...
EDIT...
Christie Calls for 10% Income-Tax Cut for N.J. - Bloomberg
apparently the budget soon to be proposed will detail the costs of this tax cut and how it will be paid for. Should be interesting.
Since I haven't been able to find anywhere that NJ is operating with a budget surplus, it's logical to assume that cuts will have to be made somewhere.
Our country is currently reeling from unpaid for tax cuts. Can NJ afford to do the same?
