all bringing in rights remember facilities that
on those collective bargaining
were ready to collectively bargain
and let's have it being
real collective bargaining or someone is in there
represent the people who pay the bills

rights anyway
and this morning he defended his plan
by participant worry compromised
to put the people first not the student the taxpayers will be saved over a
hundred thirty billion over the next thirty years we need to bring it back
we've shared sacrifice to the list
to shared sacrifice
pricey where the workers are sacrificing where this act was miller reg lover
kristin just vetoed a bill that would have increase tax on millionaires and
send them hundreds of millions of dollars
further rats well that was that shared sacrifice
in new jersey equity is shared sacrifice has actually met outings state aid

sixty five percent from a year ago
missus sixty five percent
you know what happens to have a silly thing pops up the street physicians how
to get more money to the millionaires in new jersey
and there's a price right shared sacrifice
wasn't talking about
was a lot that is a rich bodies shared any of the sacrifice attorneys are the
people do your brother was getting all the sacrifice
now let me show you how the g_o_p_'s reverse robin hood works in general
the rescue campaign contributions to the g_o_p_ party
who in turn cut programs for the working class
devan tax breaks for you guessed that the reg a funny how that works
today the great exit example of that comes from no other favorite union
buster scott walker
the sunday no sign a budget
that includes two point three billion dollars in
tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy
of until a few hours ago
he was gonna sign a bill that you guessed it
the business of the men connected on
charges of
tax evasion
could either day here is that the man did needed a those tax at all
polyadenylation scott walker to get into power
that he could have qualified for legalized vaccination through the
republican party
and that about sums up the state of the republic party
right now legalized
tax evasion for the rich and pain and sacrifice for the rest of us
joining me now democrat from new jersey senator frank lautenberg
sela burger gray tabby here the prescription use unpopular about right
now int new jersey he's uh... dot beth
overall on favorability rating but yet he still getting this done
why do we have the still in new jersey today well because there are a lot of
people capitulated their beliefs
uh... and uh... through there and i had never ended the friendly with the uh...
there's uh... bullying governor virus
remember what this governors doing not only is he cutting people's incomes
uh... increasing their costs but also he's taken the liberty of giving you a
new jersey money
we had a six billion dollar transit commitment from the federal government
we are port authority and he gave it away we took four hundred million
dollars worth of education money that was going but to the benefit of the
people live in and living in new jersey and even lost that and he's given awake
for their assets and uh... we just don't understand it wiseman jersey the
giveaway state what we need so much
so much help
cut et cetera lumberyard itis everything you've moved national artificial issue
now
and i think that's an interesting word to use their because
completion is over and over republicans come in like tough guys in christine i'm
calling christy
that governor pauly walnuts now yelling at his own constituents in harsh ways et
cetera sec
understand that
but democrats are the signed off on this in new jersey my god why in the world
would you do that
while live because uh... sure
that is not without getting something for their own the in return and it's
uh... the wrong way to do it we have to stand tough because we're being slashed
at all across this country and i say we the democrats but i'm concerned more
about the people who work for a living the permit those of us who've been
successful to be successful then it's not happening so they're just quitting
and going along with the governor with only violently disagree but don't have
the guts to stand up to
turner i i want to talk about how we fight back trainings i want to show you
two sets the numbers here which i think they are so stark
and could help in fighting and back we told you about newark you know back and
of course to the sender from new jersey what they did was they initially had to
cut half of their police budget
an entire poet half of the police department president have enough money
from the state government
violent crime spike eighteen percent just look for score alone
and an added panic info higher back those fifty police officers
because you can't have cities
without police officers this is crazy and why do they do all this
you know began chris christie vetoed a bill that would have raised six hundred
thirty seven million dollars
those who want to take millionaires yeah i think this is an amazing case to make
political voters of new jersey division democrats beyond fire in new jersey
magazine a darned right with the darn right and the fact is that in camden
police weren't available and up
to go to a burglary scenes but had a reported on a paper aruna dis and check
up on that later it's outrageous and that we're being uh... swept away via
boing governor
who uh... has that promises a retribution if you don't that go his way
weller retribution in my view is gonna come from the next election now we're
going to see it directly as his numbers fall now and i believe will continue to
fall heavier in a very near future last much free center
do you think chris chris is really playing more to a national audience
an actual tea party republican audience brad in your own state in order try to i
don't know if he's trying to be president vice president on what he is
running for but do you think that's the real game here you put the words of my
mouth
he's looking at the national picture because what he's doing to the people of
new jersey is gonna hurt so much that he could very well he swept away their but
he's really the trader for a shot of the big job that's my belief
alright new jersey center frank lumber face so much for joining us this evening
we really appreciate it
