Chris Christie proposes a 10% across-the-board income tax cut for New Jersey

Bold Leadership. Fiscal Sanity. Lower Taxes. Chris Christie delivers:

Gov. Chris Christie today proposed a 10 percent reduction in state income taxes regardless of income -- phased in over three years -- and restoration of the earned-income tax credit that would benefit the state's poorest citizens.

As he put it, "Everyone made the sacrifice. Everyone will share in the benefit."

"Understand what this means," Christie said in his State of the State message, the second one he has delivered since becoming governor in January 2010,. "Every New Jerseyan will get a cut in taxes. The working poor. The struggling middle class. The new college graduates getting their first job. The senior citizens who have already retired. The single mom. The job creators. The parents trying to afford to send their son or daughter to college."

It's the antithesis of class warfare. So naturally the Democrats have a plan of their own. Raise taxes.

I don't think that Sheila Oliver can spell "tax cut."

Here's the video.

Hey Mitch McConnell and John Boehner. Are you paying attention?
