Gov. Christie Shows the Way

Democrats in New Jersey passed a law raising taxes on those making over a million dollars a year in the state.  Many would think that taxing the rich is a great idea to cut the deficit during a recession. The problem is that "millionaires" are very often small business owners who employee the majority of workers in the economy.  Taxing them may increase revenue, but it may also lead to layoffs, businesses leaving the state for jurisdictions with lower taxes, and general discouragement of innovation and entrepreneurialism.

But then again, the Democrats haven't had a new idea since FDR.  Their solutions to everything is more government.  The answer is always the same, its just the question that changes.

Watch Christie give a refreshing answer as he vetoes the bill.
