Stop the NJ Paid Family Leave TAX! Act now and contact your legislator!

The legislature of the People's Republic of New Jersey (the United States first Socialist/Communist State) will be bringing paid family leave back on Monday. From an article in the Daily Record:

After several fits and starts, an effort to bring a paid family leave program to New Jersey may clear its final legislative hurdle Monday.

A vote on the measure is scheduled in the Senate, where Majority Leader Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, and budget committee chairwoman Sen. Barbara Buono, D-Middlesex, are sponsors. If approved, Gov. Jon S. Corzine is expected to sign the bill shortly.

When speaking of the need for the program, the governor frequently refers to having his children around him when he recovered from a near-fatal car crash a year ago this week, saying people shouldn't have to choose between work and caring for family.


I am often brought to absolute tears laughing at our current Governor. His reason for supporting paid family leave (PAID as in PAID FOR BY HIGHER TAXES) is that when he got hurt speeding in a state owned vehicle without his seat belt, he had his children by his side. Of course, Corzine's estimated net worth is in excess of 600 million dollars according to the New York times. But what about the family he wants at his side?

1. Son Joshua works in commercial real estate in San Francisco
2. Daughter Jennifer runs a tea shop in Manhattan
3. Son Jeffrey goes to NYU

So Mr Governor, tell me how paid family leave would have helped your children be by your side when you were hurt? And why should the people of New Jersey have to pay for them to be there?

This entire bill is a bad joke that being perpetuated by Democrats attempting to buy votes in the next election. Too many voters in this state think about these benefits, hold hands and sing songs and skip through the meadow happily. That is until the next tax bill comes and they scream bloody murder. Here is an idea for the Democrats who want this bill so bad. Cut state workers by 10% and you will have plenty of money to pay for it.

It's time to hold your elected representatives accountable. Go to this link to find your legislator and let them no - STOP PAID FAMILY LEAVE TAX!

Senate and Assembly members be warned. You have seen various groups marching on Trenton in recent days. The citizens of this state have told you to stop spending and get your fiscal house in order. If you want to avoid the coming rout (REMEMBER FLORIO), you had better get serious soon.
