As revelations tumble out of the …”

Why is Chris Christie apparently balking at the latest compromise?
24
Jul
Governor Christie should get on board with the latest proposal to fund the Transportation Trust Fund and provide much needed tax relief to the people of New Jersey. Is this a “perfect” compromise? No. But we need funds to fix our roads and bridges, lower taxes and lower spending and fewer regulations. The governor should work on the last two goals ASAP. Instead of focusing on Trump’s presidential campaign, he should do what he was elected to do–govern. If he is preoccupied with the presidential campaign, he should resign.

What Donald Trump should have said last night
22
Jul
Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican convention last night could have been a lot shorter and focused on espousing the virtues of limited government and free enterprise.
First, Donald should have used several props, such as the first 1040 form, which was only four pages long. He should have said that a tax return of 1914 was simple and allowed the federal government to raise the funds it needed to pay for its expenses 100 years ago, when only 2% of the American people had to pay any income tax. In addition, today large and medium-sized businesses need an army of accountants and attorneys to comply with the tax code. That’s money that cannot be used to buy better equipment, modernize their factories, and thus make American workers more productive, which would earn them higher salaries.
