Three stories to illustrate and expose Chris Christie's idea of government

[nonperson]

And in microcosm his ideas for the nation if and when his (and apparently Roger Ailes)embarrassingly obvious national intentions ever come to fruition.

Don't listen to Chris Christie's lies or the insane media hype from the likes of Killer Joe Scarborough. Watch what Chris Christie DOES (while doing so I'm sure you won't be able to miss the now expected corruption, incompetence and arrogance that define Chris Christie's first 18 months as governor and his entire career) and you'll realize that apart from the rhetoric this is what Chris Christie actually stands for:

1. Tax breaks for millionaires in the name of shared sacrifice for everyone else placing the burden of the economic collapse caused by millionaires on the taxpayers, middle class, and poor of New Jersey.

2. Tax breaks for corporations at the expense of New Jersey taxpayers (other than millionaires as previously stated) by giving a $200 million tax break to help one of the richest private development firms in North America to throw away more money to complete a ridiculous money pit called http://www.alternet.org/economy/151043/4_fantastically_stupid_projects_bankrolled_by_republicans_aiming_to_please_their_corporate_masters">Xanadu that has wasted $1.6 billion already (not to mention the $261 million he gave to the developers of http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2011/02/casino_construction_resumes_wi.html">Revel Casino in Atlantic City).

3. Obtrusive government injecting his personal beliefs between his constituents their doctors to relieve suffering of the seriously ill by failing to uphold THE LAW regarding the already legislated, passed and signed into law Compassionate Use Act.

Here are three stories from my morning paper (that I found online links for) to illustrate those points:

N.J. Democrats to introduce millionaires tax bill

TRENTON — The way state Sen. Ray Lesniak and several other Democrats see it, public employees are about to dig deeper into their pockets to bail out New Jersey’s fragile economy, and they want millionaires do the same.

But with Gov. Chris Christie vowing to veto any tax increase, the largely symbolic effort to pass a millionaires tax serves a couple purposes for Democratic legislators who are bruised and at war among themselves.

...snip...

Assemblyman Lou Greenwald (D-Camden), chairman of the Budget Committee who sponsored the benefits bill, said he expected his colleagues to push for a millionaire’s tax, which has the support of Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-Essesx).

...snip...

Earlier this year, state Sen. Shirley Turner (D-Mercer) proposed a bill — which has yet to have a committee hearing — that would raise the tax rate to 10.75 percent from 8.9 percent on every dollar earned above $1 million.

Chris Christie told New Jersey "We're BROKE!" and forced a billion dollar cut in public school aid, he wiped out property tax relief for seniors, he cut state aid to cities and towns to the point of forcing layoffs of essential services like police and firefighters and forcing cuts in municipal services, he's trying to drop the income requirement for Medicaid for families to $5,300 PER YEAR, he cut EVERYTHING that has anything to do with middle class and poor but Chris Christie finds a 1.85 percent increase on millionaires' earnings over one million dollars to be too much for them to bear.

NOW Chris Christie is asking Democrats he has attacked and excoriated for eighteen months to come to his rescue!

Gov. Chris Christie hopes to quickly usher in law making Xanadu's $200M in tax breaks legal

Last month, Gov. Chris Christie stood inside the partly finished entertainment complex formerly known as Xanadu — a name that had become associated with a boondoggle in the swamp — to announce a deal with a new developer to get the stalled $1.9 billion project off the ground.

It would now be called the “American Dream at Meadowlands,” developed by the Triple Five Group — owners of the Mall of America in Minneapolis. It would be even bigger than the 2.4-million-square-foot complex originally planned. And the state would provide up to $200 million in tax breaks to make sure the dream came true.

There was one catch: The Economic Development Authority did not have the legal authority to issue the financial incentives. The company plans to invest $1 billion to expand the mall, which has already cost $1.9 billion, by adding several new features.

The Christie administration reached out to Democratic lawmakers on Monday and asked them to quickly shepherd a bill through the Legislature that would make the Meadowlands eligible.

Please, NJ Democrats, don't miss this golden opportunity to return Chris Christie's sentiments. And while you're at it, since Christie chooses to ignore THE LAW and implement the Compassionate Use Act, PLEASE WRITE LEGISLATION TO FORCE THIS LAW INTO USE AS WRITTEN IMMEDIATELY.

Pro-pot advocates fume at rule delay
Supporters of medical marijuana say Christie "is personally holding this law back."

By Geoff Mulvihill and Beth DeFalco

Associated Press
TRENTON - Advocates for medical marijuana, long at odds with Gov. Christie, were fuming at him Friday, a day after he said he was waiting for assurances from federal authorities that people involved in state-sanctioned sales of pot to patients would not be prosecuted.

Activists say that the state is unlikely to get such blanket assurances from the U.S. Department of Justice - and that the people who want to go into the business realize they would be violating federal law. New Jersey officials have requested information from the federal government on whether people involved in a state-sanctioned medical marijuana business could be prosecuted. So far, there has been no response.

"Gov. Christie is personally holding this law back," said Chris Goldstein, executive director of the Coalition for Medical Marijuana for New Jersey.

The state Health Department, which is overseeing the medical marijuana program, did not elaborate Friday on Christie's statement.

If Chris Christie wants fast action on his scheme with his developer buddies give him fast action on relieving the suffering of your seriously ill constituents instead and put a stop to Chris Christie injecting his beliefs and his idea of government between doctors and their patients.

Chris Christie is wrong for New Jersey and I sincerely hope that America realizes how wrong he is for the nation.
