Summary of the topics discussed by Seth Grossman on the "Liberty and Prosperity" WPG Radio program. 🗳️ The New Jersey Governor's Election (Jack Ciattarelli vs. Mikey Sherrill) The bulk of the discussion focused on the election, with Grossman outlining points he believes voters should know. High Electric Bills: Grossman blames high electricity costs on Governor Murphy for shutting down six productive power plants (including nuclear and Beesleys Point) in pursuit of "green energy." He argues that alternative sources (wind, solar, tidal) are unreliable and that only coal, oil, gas, or nuclear can provide consistent power. He states that Jack Ciattarelli has promised to reopen or replace these plants. Critique of Mikie Sherrill's Record: He challenges Sherrill's background, claiming: She was not a "military commander" but worked in an office. She was a lawyer who didn't practice in a courtroom but worked for a firm that bullied and shook down big corporations to promote "woke" causes. (DEI, anti-American). She was "never a prosecutor" but an “outreach and re-entry coordinator”. Her job was to help criminals get housing, employment, health care and counseling when they got out of prison. Sherrill's Stances: He claims Sherrill is in favor of "open borders," "sanctuary" policies in New Jersey, and "reparations for slavery." Teachers' Union Endorsement and "Statewide Property Tax": T The teachers' union pension fund was run as a "Ponzi scheme" fore years. Teacher got low salaries and made small pension fund contributions for years. Then they got big pay hikes just before they retired. Then their pension payments were based on their highest salaries just before they retired! By 2014, the pension funds were insolvent. The NJEA Teachers' Union sued the state claiming that the pension fund was "$50 billion in the hole" as of 2014. The union wants a constitutional amendment to create a new, "mandatory statewide property tax" to bail out the pension fund. In 2017, the NJEA spent more than $4 million to try to defeat former Senate President Steve Sweeney for previously blocking this. In 2021, they finally succeeded. Sherrill's commitment to "secure pensions" a "code word" for her commitment to this new statewide tax to bail out the pension funds. "Fake News": Democrats and "billionaires" created a "fake charity" to fund a "fake newspaper" called the New Jersey Independent. We don't know who is paying for it because it is registered as a "charity" and not as a political campaign organization. This fake newspaper is mailed voters with the big lie that Ciattarelli "talked about" raising the sales tax. He never did! He answered a question about why Tennessee doesn't have an income tax. Sherrill's TV ads are now quoting this "fake newspaper" as a source for this fake news. In reality, Democrat Sherrill made a commitment to raise taxes to bail out the NJEA Teacher pensions. 🏛️ Atlantic City State Takeover Grossman criticizes Senator Vince Polistina's proposal for a 10-year extension of the state takeover of Atlantic City. He argues the only reason Atlantic City fell into financial trouble was because of the first state takeover under Governor Chris Christie (starting in 2010). He claims Christie, to avoid conflict with unions while planning his presidential run, allowed Atlantic City to run "illegal budgets" for six years, accumulating $400 million in debt. The purpose of the "takeover" was to keep the City from suing the State to repudiate this illegal debt created by Christie. ☀️ A "Nightmare" in Florida: A Cautionary Tax Tale Grossman discusses a ballot question in Florida, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, that would give the option to eliminate property taxes and fund schools and services with state taxes instead. He calls this a "nightmare" and uses New Jersey's history as a "cautionary tale." He argues that property taxes are the "most fair" form of taxation because everyone (including renters and owners) pays, and it makes government spending accountable to the taxpayers. He warns against creating "corrupt voters"—people who can vote for more government spending while thinking "somebody else" (through sales or income taxes) will pay for it. He points to New Jersey's 1966 introduction of the sales tax and 1976 introduction of the income tax, both of which failed to lower property taxes as promised.
