All summer long, Jon Corzine has been touting gains in private sector jobs as “proof” that his policies have brought New Jersey out of recession. But his July claims vanished in an August “statistical update” and the September numbers show that we’ve lost another 12,000 private sector jobs as unemployment climbed to 9.8%, yet another 32 year record high. We feel the pain of these lost jobs in our communities regardless of what Corzine says.

While its bad enough that the Corzine administration has played games with the numbers trying to make a bad situation look better, it now turns out that Corzine has tried to “be creative” in hyping how his policies have aided job creation. All the spin in the world won’t change the reality that New Jersey is broken, and Corzine broke it.

We can all see what Corzine won’t say, that there’s a connection between his tax policies and the ever escalating unemployment rate. But instead of rolling back taxes and giving our small businesses a helping hand, Corzine talks of new fuel, sales and income taxes, only causing more jobs to move to Pennsylvania, Delaware and other neighboring states.

Corzine can claim things are getting better and jobs are being created but its just not true and everyone knows it, including his own staff.

We need Chris Christie in Trenton to start fixing a problem Corzine can’t even admit exists.

Sincerely,

According to some in the news media, I might pass for an “extreme right-wing racist”. Well, when I attended a local tea party here in the nearly bankrupt state of New Jersey, I saw men and women, young and old, black and white, middle class and rich, along with Democrats and Republicans.

Our purpose in gathering was to show the nation’s leaders that we, the owners of this democracy, object to unstrained spending, tyrannical government intrusion into our lives, and massive taxes.

We cannot let others fight our battles for us anymore. The stakes for our children and grandchildren in unsustainable debt are too high for us not to act. 

I call on the “silent majority”, those Americans who make this country work and have sacrificed to keep us safe, to be a part of this movement to reclaim the principles of the founding fathers. These concepts are as old but timeless in their application from colonial times to the present. Fundamentally, Government should live within its means and spend only what it takes from the people. Aside from national defense, public safety, such as enforcement of the borders, health safety concerns and such common “promotion of the general welfare”, the  federal government should not interfere in our everyday lives. Lastly, taxes are a legal method of taking of the fruit of someone’s labor and giving it to another who has not earned it. While necessary to provide for basic services, it should not deter intiative and the free exchange of goods and services.

  The American we know and love must be preserved above all else. It is time to LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.

Sincerely,
James Wolbert

The autor describes himself as “a conservative man of 51 years born and raised in the sleepy town of Garfield, NJ. As my daughter says, ‘Nothing happens in Garfield.’ I have strong religious and political views. I have written some articles for newspapers and thought I would try here.
