Murphy and Taxes

27 Nov

I was interviewed about state taxes just before the November election.  Robert Wenzel had this to say about the segment at www.economicpolicyjournal.com:  

Murray Sabrin,  professor of finance in the Anisfield School of Business, Ramapo College, is just great when it comes to explaining things from a limited government, free market perspective and New Jersey media is beginning to recognize that. He is being asked to appear more and more often on New Jersey news outlets. In the below clip, he appears twice first near the start and then again toward the end.

Beware trickle down taxation!

N.J.’s millionaires’ tax hike is losing support | Moran

26 Nov

Tom Moran’s analysis misses a key point:  If Murhpy wants to increase spending, then all taxpayers should pay for them, not just upper-income individuals and families.  Murphy’s tax plan would make Willie Sutton proud.  

“Democrats are going wobbly. The reason is the Republican tax plan would end the deduction for state income taxes, and increase the risk that the rich might flee from high-tax states like New Jersey.”

“Not Our Fault” – ECB Says “Fake Data” Is To Blame For The Coming “Manias And Panics”

25 Nov

“Just as there are concerns about ‘fake news’ dominating social media, there is a risk of ‘fake’, statistics driving out better quality ones in public discourse. Actions by economic agents could become less anchored to actual activity and more prone to manias and panics.”
