TRENTON—The Corzine/Weinberg ’09 campaign today released a new web ad, highlighting Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie’s admission in yesterday’s New York Times that his entire campaign has been based on empty promises and failed economic policies.
 
The only thing Christie will still do is give tax breaks to the very wealthy by breaking his promises to the middle class.  Christie now says he will not restore property tax rebates, contrary to what he had promised.  Christie now says will not roll back the sales tax, contrary to what he had promised.  He will use “one-shot” revenues to close the budget deficit, contrary to what he had promised.  He will not reduce income taxes – contrary to what he had promised.
 
The one promise he is sticking with is that he will hand out more tax breaks to big corporations and to the wealthiest, which will raise taxes on the middle class.  The truth is the only economic policies that Chris Christie is staying true to are the same failed economic policies that George Bush employed that got the country into this mess, and now Christie wants to bring them to New Jersey.
 
Christie continues to be wrong when it matters most.
