Putting Taxpayers First

New Jersey has the highest sales and property taxes in the nation, as well as the most progressive income tax. What is a tax paying citizen to do? Up until now, they either put up with it or they moved out of the state. Steve Lonegan gives them another option with this book - a way to fight back. New Jersey is poised for Governor Jon Corzine's version of Mao Tse Tung's "Great Leap Forward," and taxpayers will be straddled with the high taxes and crushing debt burden needed to make this collectivist vision a reality. If this sounds like an over-dramatization, then just read Putting Taxpayers First. Massive new debt and the nation's highest state sales tax, most progressive income tax, and highest property taxes are paving the way for Corzines's new social gospel - and Democrats and Republicans have helped make this a reality. This book traces the decline of the spirit of independence and its replacement with reliance on the entitlement state, all at the hands of liberal Democrats and "moderate" Republicans. Most important, it lays out a blueprint for a return to self reliance that can only flourish under a limited government protected by constitutional restraints. For Republicans that have the guts to stand and fight for our shared conservative values, it is a blueprint for victory.
