There is something fundamentally immoral about a government that takes taxes from citizens in Nevada, Utah, and Oregon by force, only to give them to governments in New Jersey Massachusetts, and Ohio just because they don't know how to manage their budget. They call it "federal assistance", but it's really theft... out and out theft. And to give it to those states would set off a race to the bottom unprecedented in American history.
These governors are hoping that we are all so deranged as to DIRECTLY reward those people who have behaved the worst. Because they are incapable of standing down their entrenched special interests, they want the federal government to give them even more money. It's like punishing our badly behaving children by making them eat cake and candy for dinner. It will come to no good end.
How broken are things in Trenton that the governor would rather go out on the interstate with a sign that reads "Will Beg for 1 Trillion in Tax Revenue" than stand up to the unions and bureaucrats in Trenton to actually cut the budget? The man is literally making a public spectacle of himself. He's portraying himself as the worst kind of weak kneed coward because he's afraid to stand up to the thugs that run his ex-girlfriend's union. He's a Democrat and I'm not... I didn't even vote for the guy and I'm embarrassed just to be watching him.
Jesus Jon... be a man... do the right thing... just a little. I know the people you listen to day in and day out won't like it but the electorate will. I know the Democratic machine says the voters will be upset... what do you expect them to say? It's their interests you'll be cutting out. In reality 'the people' would love to see the budget slashed and taxes cut. It's only the people in government who think otherwise. They've been giving you bad information.
Once... a long time ago, you were a man. Once you saw yourself as a guy who stood up to the people who were making things worse. Well now it's the people in the government who are making things worse and you should stand up to them. If you made deep cuts in the budget and corresponding cuts in taxes it would be a mitzvah for the people who elected you. It would be setting things right in the state. It would be you doing the thing the people of New Jersey elected you to do. Please ... please don't be one more embarrassing governor for New Jersey. We're sick of being embarrassed.
Please don't shame the people who elected you anymore. Don't make us all go from the corrupt deviant to the billionaire who begs. I'd always hoped it was beneath you, and it's certainly beneath us. We deserve better from you than this. We're already a national laughingstock in New Jersey. Please don't make it worse.
