New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie
There has been Bridgegate, an $800 million budget shortfall, the pension payment shortage, and the fact that New Jersey's credit rating has been reduced more times since Chris Christie became governor in 2010 than under any other NJ governor. New Jersey ranks 32nd in the U.S. in unemployment and New Jersey residents give Governor Christie only a 37 percent approval rating. It's no wonder that Mr. Christie, once a Republican star, has pretty much dropped off the GOP's presidential contender radar.
But Mr. Christie seems to be unaware of his waning importance. He has been in New Hampshire this week, talking about his plans for the White House. One of the items on his agenda: simplification of our income tax code. On Monday, he held his thumb and forefinger several inches apart as he told the Manchester Union-Leader editorial board:
"The fact that my wife and I, who are not wealthy by current standards, that we have to file a tax return that's that thick is insane. We don't have nearly that much money."
For the record, in 2013 Governor Chris Christie reported an income of $698,838.
