My Own Political Party

If you are not from New Jersey, you might not have heard the latest news. The State is in debt. Not a big surprise, I know, since New Jersey is probably the most corrupt state in the Nation. New Jersey is in debt a whopping $32 billion dollars.

What do you do when you have a mortgage and bills to pay and kids to feed? You cut down on spending. That’s right. No more going to the movies and buying popcorn. No lavish spending sprees on clothes and shoes. Maybe you even cut off your cable and cell phones. Why? Because it is more important to have a roof over your head and food in your mouth.

Our New Jersey politicians just don’t think the same way we do. Tell them we are in debt and their bright idea is to tax, tax, tax. First it was the toll hike proposal. Governor Corzine insists that raising the tolls 50% from 2010 to 2022 would pay off half of the debt. The citizens of New Jersey didn’t agree.

Next, some bright legislator decides that raising the gas tax and motor vehicle fees would be a good idea. Again, citizens are not happy with this plan.

Unless the New Jersey politicians can come up with a plan that DOES NOT include raising taxes, but does include CUTTING SPENDING, we will not be happy. Remember, last year the sales tax was raised to 7% and this year I can bet you that your property taxes will be going up (mine are scheduled to be increased 14%).

SEND A MESSAGE! Unfortunately, we as citizens, have very short memories in November. If we truly want change, we must VOTE OUT all incumbents. That’s right. I don’t care if you think they are doing a good job or not. A clear message will not be sent unless EVERYONE up for election is given the boot. Do you truly want change in New Jersey, than do what is necessary to make the change!
