Chris Christie invoked the money line of the late NRA spokesman Chuck Heston today when he promised a crowd that he would prevent Democrats from squirreling away their money.
The governor welcomed applause when he said he wants to reduce income taxes across the board by ten percent over the next three years.
"The plan is no matter who you are in New Jersey, if you have a job, your taxes are going to go down," he said. "I listen to the Democrats and it makes me laugh. They talk about fiscal responsibility. ...They borrowed more money than anybody in history and they're preaching to me about fiscal responsibility."
He laid it out starkly.
"They (Democrats) have your money in their hands and they believe they can spend it better than you can," Christie said. "That's a fundamental difference. My plan is to get your money back to you even if I have to pry it out of their cold dead hands. I mean politically dead, not actually dead."

OK, two things. One, his panties are in a wad again. Two, I thought that kind of rhetoric was frowned upon.
And I am sure the crowd cheered.

The crowd in that pic does not even BEGIN to make clear the high level of diversity in Bridgewater. So he went someplace safe withIN Bridgewater so he would only get cheered - and not jeered.
I bet if he did it at the library it would have a totally different look.

(24,461 posts)Two, he's laughably selling tax cut snake oil and people are buying it. He knows his capitalist crony friends aren't going to raise wages comparable to inflation, so this is the "crumbs". This has been the "crumbs" since 1981; Feeding the birds by giving the horse more oats.
