By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog When I pointed out how Seattle had shed 10,000 jobs in 3 months after beginning to implement a $15 minimum wage, Save Jerseyans, some of our liberal readers back here at home complained bitterly that it was too early to draw any conclusions.

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog Nominally-conservative Internet new tycoon Matt Drudge is appropriate blaring the following headline this Tax Day 2016, Save Jerseyans: 45% of Americans pay no federal income tax.

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog State Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-13), the erstwhile BFF of Chris Christie and former NJGOP U.S. Senate candidate, isn’t exactly renown for conservative firebrand impulses. The crazy-stupid Democrat $15 minimum wage push must’ve brought it out in him. I’m glad for it. “New Jersey’s constitution shouldn’t be used […]

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog The Assembly passed its “millionaire’s tax” (A4602) on Thursday afternoon 47-31-1, Save Jerseyans, but earlier this week in the run-up to the vote, one of our favorite legislators couldn’t help but note one of the crazier inconsistencies in this fiscal year’s Democrat budget: Dems in Approps today gave […]

By Dan Cirucci | Dan Cirucci’s Blogspot OK, so the New York Times says Marco Rubio is a spendthrift and would have you believe he lives lavishly. But, look at his home — at the top, circled in red. Not the whole neighborhood. No, just the home circled in red. Then, look at Hillary Clinton’s abode (directly […]

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog Most of the media talking heads are dismissing Governor Chris Christie’s new tax plan as a tax cut for the rich; that’s unfortunate, Save Jerseyans, not only because class warfare rhetoric is boorish but also owing to the fact that there is some good stuff in there […]

By Scott St. Clair | The Save Jersey Blog Hazarding a guess, New Jersey’s U-Haul franchisees high-fived each other after reading Star-Ledger editorial page editor Tom Moran’s “Soak the Rich? Sure…” class-envy commentary since their one-way, out-of-state business is about to explode. No wonder more New Jersey residents flee the state than any other in […]

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog Here’s a little something to get the conversation going at your Labor Day barbecue, Save Jerseyans: Rich people work just as hard as non-rich people in this country.
