Paramus NJ, “The Netflix blockbuster, ‘The Irishman’ and the state of New Jersey have something in common – they’re both experts in small business shakedowns.”
“Now, facing more than $200 Billion in debt, ranking 50th in the nation in financial health, and burdening every taxpayer with a $65,000 share of the bill (on top of the nations highest income and property taxes, source: https://www.truthinaccounting.org/library/doclib/NJ-2018-2pager.pdf) they have decided to double down their attacks on small business owners like you and me.”
“The recent independent contractor bill is nothing more than mafia style ‘protection’ codified into state law. The state of New Jersey claims it’s helping defend workers, while at the same time destroying the job opportunities the middle class and working poor depend on. ”
“It doesn’t stop there. Other industries are facing massive increases in licensing, fees and regulation costs. As the owner of a small financial planning and accounting practice, my cost to do business in this state increased by 86% from 2019 to 2020 alone.”
“This shouldn’t surprise us. New Jersey has used taxpayers as a perpetual piggy bank for decades. Making promises they never intended to keep.”
“What’s the solution? How about reasonable cuts to spending, decreasing local, county, and state taxes, lowering burdensome regulations that stifle growth, and clearing out the cronyism that has destroyed industry competition, for starters. Those solutions aren’t discussed because our state’s Democratic party leaders aren’t interested in taking responsibility for poor financial governance. That’s one of a number of reasons why we need new leadership.”
“I don’t care if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or Independent – it’s time ‘We the People’ demanded accountability and change from our elected officials.”
Which mafia, and how do you know about the mafia. There’s a lot of mafias out there.
Oh that jersey style
