When New Taxes Don't Cut Old Ones: The New Jersey Edition

In 1965 New Jersey had no sales tax & no income tax.
In 1965 sales tax added to "reduce property taxes."
In 1977, income tax was added--same reason.
Now NJ has high income, sales and property taxes.
Swallowing a third tapeworm does not discipline the first two.
