GUEST OPINION: You simply should pay higher taxes … sorry

  CNBNews graphics file

Bill SpadeaJune 28, 2018/http://nj1015.com/

You simply should pay higher taxes.

After all, let's face it, there's a lotta spending that needs to be done! Elite insiders, special interests and of course the lawyers all need their cut from your bank account. The budget 'compromise' being worked out between the governor and the Legislature after their "pretend fight" is a disaster for every middle- and working-class taxpayer and the small and medium sized companies that employ them. Higher taxes at every level. More spending, more borrowing and a worsening affordability crisis driving more and more of our friends and neighbors out.
