Chris Christie sits down with residents for 'Kitchen Table Tax Talk'

A white house with blue shutters and a white picket fence. Joe Schmitt, a former Wall Street executive, has lived at the home in Bayville, Berkeley Township for the past ten years. He has a wife and two sons. Joe opened his home up to Republican Gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie for some candid discussion on fiscal and budgetary issues.

Three residents were invited to the roundtable panel: Tara Askew, a Bayville resident and mother; John MacMoyle, a crane operator from Bayville; and Jeanne Weiner, a senior from Manchester. Top concern on all of their minds? Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.

Christie listened to their concerns and offered solutions as based in his 51 Point Plan to Fix NJ, which is published on his website. His top priorities if elected are to cut income taxes, change the way the state budget is done, and reduce the corporate business tax rate.

As host, Joe said he was impressed with Christie's ideas and said that it was time for a change. "Just like the nation was sick of all the Republicans running it, I'm sick of the Democrats running New Jersey."
