Ridgewood NJ, It’s that time of the year again! The Rax Foundation released their 2017 State Business Tax Climate Index, which allows you to compare you state’s business tax burden across 5 major categories and taking into account over 100 variables. New Jersey ranked dead last in business tax climate . The report credits Trenton leadership with, “some of the worst-structured individual income taxes in the country.”
This year, the states at the top of the pack are Wyoming (1), South Dakota (2), Alaska (3), Florida (4), Nevada (5), Montana (6), New Hampshire (7), Indiana (8), Utah (9), and Oregon (10).
The states at the bottom of the pack include Louisiana (41), Maryland (42), Connecticut (43), Rhode Island (44), Ohio (45), Minnesota (46), Vermont (47), California (48), New York (49), and New Jersey (50).
According to the Tax Foundation ;the states in the bottom 10 tend to have a number of shortcomings in common: complex, non-neutral taxes with comparatively high rates. New Jersey, for example, is hampered by some of the highest property tax burdens in the country, is one of just two states to levy both an inheritance tax and an estate tax, and maintains some of the worst-structured individual income taxes in the country.

Hopefully we will get a governor. Where has our AWOL Governor been?
Yeah… lets get that Republican governor out of office so we can install a business demonizing, tax and spend liberal governor.
That’ll fix NJ businesses.
The fat man has done nothing except cost the taxpayer money. He is a bum. Let him resign and give the Lt. governor a shot.
and other governors have done so well for the state ???
Christie did what he could against a State Senate that was taking the State’s treasury into bankruptcy. He has done what he was constitutionally able to do to at least keep us gasping for breath. If he is replaced by the rubber-stampers that preceded him, it’s over.
All of this “body shaming” (fat man et. al) is apparently OK.
But please enlighten me… Is it Okay because he is a Republican or because he is a man or because he is white?
Don’t you just love when liberals call people names and act so horrified when someone else does it…. Hypocrisy of the bullying left.
