A new tax on millionaires, a 22.5% gas tax hike (bringing the total increase to 250% in 4 years), and now a tax on high frequency trades: it is becoming obvious to most – except perhaps the state’s democratic leadership – that New Jersey is now actively trying to drive out its tax-paying population and top businesses with a series of draconian measures to balance its […]
A recent analysis by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 94% of American patients who have died from COVID-19 had other underlying health conditions.
