Tax-hiking Democrat Gov dodges taxes

File this one under DEMOCRATS ARE HYPOCRITES:

Governor Corzine gave nearly $100,000 in cash gifts to top aides who worked on his gubernatorial campaign and U.S. Senate staff last year, administration officials confirmed Friday.

The nine trusted Corzine staffers who received the gifts are not required to pay income tax, which they would be if they had been rewarded with a bonus because the Internal Revenue Service considers bonuses earned compensation.

This New Jersey Democrat has raised taxes in New Jersey, voted against lower taxes when in the Senate. I guess paying taxes are for suckers, not for him and his minions.
