The Christie’s and Guadagno’s have once again released their tax returns, Save Jerseyans.
Chris Christie is viewable here and the Lieutenant Governor’s is over here.
In 2014, New Jersey’s first family’s joint income came in at $970,161.00 (AGI), up from nearly $700,000 in 2013. Christie’s low six-figure gubernatorial salary was once again dwarfed by his wife Mary Pat Christie’s investment firm income which won’t be coming in anymore (at least for awhile) since she recently left Wall Street to avoid presidential campaign finance conflicts.
The rich don’t pay taxes? Shut up already. This power couple paid $283,535 for 2014.
Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and her husband Michael Guadagno, a state appellate court judge, earned $331,742 (down from $440,897 in 2013) but over the $301,994 (AGI) reported for 2012. $75,707 was their total tax bill.
Governor Christie has released his tax returns for 12 consecutive years since 2003 (years ’03 through ’08 were released during his 2009 gubernatorial campaign).

The Christies are just not rich enough, Matt. Setting up a trust fund becomes net positive around 750 grand yearly income, but then you stop paying taxes almost entirely. Case in point: The Clinton Foundation.
Didn’t Christie recently claim he was Upper Middle Class?
