WSJ Editorial Board: NJ Dems could help lower taxes for all NJ residents, but they don’t

May 25, 2021

New Jersey residents pay the highest amount in taxes over their lifetimes – $931,698 – than any other state, according to the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board.

Taxes are high for all New Jersey residents, but Josh Gottheimer, Tom Malinowski, and Mikie Sherrill have proposed only band-aid fixes to help the affluent.

That’s because public unions work with elected officials “to tax, spend and elect, and then do it again.”

If Gottheimer, Malinowski, and Sherrill “want to deliver for their constituents, they should push their local and state counterparts to cut New Jersey’s taxes to deliver real relief and make their state competitive again. They won’t do that as long New Jersey residents keep re-electing them.”
