Issue Position: Lowering Taxes

Issue Position

New Jersey is the unproud owner of the highest property taxes in the nation by a wide margin. The state has also been named the worst business climate in the nation by the Tax Foundation, a leading bi-partisan research group. From our corporate business tax to our income tax and all the ones in between, we've created an atmosphere that makes it nearly impossible for residents to remain above water and for businesses to survive and thrive.

The Titanic is heading towards the iceberg, and we need to turn this thing around before we crash. In order to do that, we have to make fundamental changes to the way we operate. I have proposed a constitutional amendment to cap yearly state spending at two-percent increases. Trenton's 2019 spending bill saw an eight-percent increase in spending that was reflected back by raising various taxes. It is unsustainable to continue to create new taxes so we can expand government.

​New Jersey's government is blown up as big as it can get. Let's keep it from bursting and make sure the wild spending increases stop. It's time to put hard-earned money back into the pockets of our residents instead of forcing them to fund every new mandate Trenton tosses their way.
