New Jersey's gas tax just went from 49th highest in the nation to 6th!!

 Gas taxes are highly regressive - that is, poor people will pay a

higher percent of their income than rich people.   Does this fit the morals and values of Jersey guys and girls?  Hardly.  

 Find out if your representative in Trenton voted for this "tax the

poor"plan and let them know how you feel about it!!

Can our new leadership create another "Reagan Boom"? 

Many economists have been recommending we cut our business taxes and increase government spending on

infrastructure projects such as bridges and roads.  The stock market has given President-Elect Trump a big thumbs up.  It

appears we will find out if they were right! Week of Dec 19

A recent interview with Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan sums up the change in business atmosphere sweeping our nation. Business leaders are “friskier” and “talking harder”

about expanding and “regulatory burdens coming down”. “If it follows through” it “will be interesting”.
