A Great Lesson from New Jersey

Check out the Sunday, May 23 blog entry by Jim Lagnese here: Libertarian Republican

Text here:

With socialism, marxism, and collectivism, need always trump ability. If you do not believe me, look at the standard marxist statement: To eat according to their needs, from each according to their ability. This means that what is given from the government, which acts as a proxy by force, to those that can't or won't do. It also means, that by force, this proxy for bad ideas takes what is earned by those who not only can but want to. It's not a free will gift and it is taken without respect to the people that earned it, but rather as an unwanted obligation and a demand that they should be happy to do it.

The New Jersey legislature passed a tax hike on all those who make more than a million dollars a year. This adds up to 16,000 people out of 3.9 million. Who speaks for them? Obviously to the socialist controlled New Jersey legislature, no one should.

The bill passed along party lines, 46-32 and 23-17 in the assembly and senate respectively. In a moment of honesty, a socialist in the assembly shows their true colors:

“We’ve got a lot of people who can’t afford to pay their taxes†and need the rebates that the measure may restore, Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver said before the vote. “Six- hundred thousand older adults would be better off.â€

There are a couple problems here. If people can't afford to pay their taxes, ask why? Why are they being taxed so high? If the answer is to pilfer those that have more money, it's irresponsible and thievery. Socialism is based on coveting and stealing. It never occurs to the dems to cut expenditures because they are bribing people with their own money. The 600,000 that are complaining of cuts to senior citizen programs are a sizable voting block where 16,000 are not. How is that for taxation without representation? Oliver should read her history to understand the consequences of such aberrant thinking.

Why Chris Christie matters is that he says he will veto this bill. The demo-socialists do not have the votes to override the veto. A good thing. Time for some fiscal responsibility and honesty.

“This is a defining moment -- it seems to me to be all about taxes, taxes and taxes,†Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce, a Republican from Parsippany, said during more than an hour of floor debate before the vote. Referring to Democrats, he said, “that’s all you guys do.â€

And that is the truth. Socialists like to bribe people with their own money, and they do it as a bribe for votes. This is done to convert those that can to those that need. The more that need, the more votes the arbiters of socialism will get and thereby hold on to power. This is the path to becoming Farm Animals®. If you doubt me, look at another bit of honesty from a socialist that feels sacrifice is duty and who is also the high priest at the altar of sacrifice:

“I don’t have an issue with millionaires, I just have an issue with people not sharing in the sacrifice,†said Senate President Stephen Sweeney, a Democrat from West Deptford. “Those 16,000 people can help 600,000.â€

What Sweeney isn't honest about is that the taxes he wants to steal from the 16,000 is to restore programs to bribe the 600,000. Sfacime.

It is a good thing to see a governor stand on proper rational principle and not emotion based straw man arguments and populism. He was elected to govern and govern from a position of responsibility, not of a tyrant that succors the hoi pelloi into a puerile stupor for the purpose of political hegemony. Its time to grow up.

This is why we need Chris Christie.

Thank you for reading this blog.

I think this guy is dead on target.

Food for thought,

Pretty spot on. I'm amazed at how the Dems have managed to make villians out of people in this country for achieving what used to be the American Dream.

He is right on target, leroy.

The liberal progressive lives on unfortunately. Christie is doing the right thing,

about the only thing left to do in NJ.

Great article, thanks for posting it.

I swear, the libs NEVER learn. They will in fact go down while singing the same old socialist mantra, no matter what is costs them politically.

Example: just today I heard Davis ASSHAT Axlerod say the Dems wanted to get the "dont ask, dont tell" policy for gays in the military removed "before November".

Now, since they obviously already know they are gonna get their asses handed to them on a silver platter, WHY keep doing this when its only a very small minority who are screaming for it? They will try to cram as much of their **** in as they can before November. They make me sick, as well as half of the Republican party.

That's the scary thing about liberals, they will go down with the ship, no matter how wrong they are. Most conservatives are at least smart enough to withdraw and "fight another day".
