Sales tax politically palatable?
Gov. Corzine is apparently leaning toward raising the sales tax to generate new revenue because polling suggests it would generate the least amount of outrage from taxpayers. If Corzine does indeed hike the sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent, as his aides have hinted he is considering, that will put New Jersey near the top in that tax category as well. Only California, which has a 7.25 percent sales tax, has a higher rate than 7 percent. Three states have a 7 percent sales tax - Mississippi, Tennessee and Rhode Island.
New Jersey doesn't need higher taxes in any category - property, income, sales or business. What it needs is public officials with the guts to reduce wasteful spending.
