Hey, Ed, Gov. Corzine is trying to pass a law that gives people an additional property tax deduction if they don’t itemize income tax deductions. Single taxpayers would deduct $500, while those married or filing jointly would deduct $1,000. Why do they always punish single people? If I pay the same damn property tax on my house as my married neighbors next door, why do they get $1,000 off while I only get $500? Sorry, but I don’t understand his strategy. It should be the other way around: Married people can afford to pay more than a single person because they bring home two paychecks and I bring home only one.

Single

Good point. And single people contribute more to the economy, spending all kinds of money to eat out three meals a day. Not fair.—Ed. Not
