Please tell them not to bring with them the politics they ran from.
ping.
Last one out of the Democratic People’s Republic of New Jersey please don’t forget to turn the lights off.
I’m voting with my feet and a U Haul truck. Let them find some other sucker to pay thousands of dollars to fund their Socialist Utopia.
I’m going to Texas this weekend for the Cowboy game. That is my kind of State.
Possibly, but I would be willing to guess that the other half are happily government-dependent and will live wherever they are promised something for nothing. Besides, many probably don't have the gumption it would take to move anyway.
You are 110% correct. These libs from MA, NY, NJ, CT jump over the Berlin Wall to escape Socialism but the bring the disease with them. They go to your state and then they vote for the same liberal tax and spend douchebags they voted for in the past.
Then they sit around and wonder why the State they moved to looks like the sinkhole they just escaped from. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
The problem isn’t that New Jersey native residents have fouled the nest, it is that over the last 20-25 years we’ve allowed too many NY city and Philly idiots to move in with their Communist (oops, I meant democrat) voting. There has always been a problem with NYC’s sewer (ie., the Newark, Jersey City area) with it’s corruption and dead voters, but for the most part the rest of the state had been able to fight it (with the exception of small pockets like AC and Camden). Unfortunately, now I believe the battle is lost.
Yup!
Just like unemployemnt income, as meager and insulting as it is - is taxed as income.
It’s all a sham.
It’s lonely being one of the few fiscal and social conservatives ion NJ - we always lose come election time.
The strange thing is that NJ has a $450B economy, and a $35B budget. Evenly distributed, the tax burden should not be excessive.
So a 6% Sales Tax on everything with no exceptions, including services, and a 2% flat State Income Tax with no exemptions or deductions would fund the budget. Less if some of the socialist programs were dropped.
A 1% Property Tax would provide $15B a year for public schools, police, firefighters, etc.
That is not an excessive local tax burden. The problem must be that the burden is so unevenly distributed that half the people are paying nothing and the the other half are paying double.
And the last thing we want is an infestation of Damned Yankees.
Yeah, I see how you describe yourself. Remember, I’m a native too, and I’m nice. Very nice. (sometimes) ha!
I don’t even pretend to be “nice”. I used to, but it didn’t get me anywhere!
[It’s not just babyboomers retiring it working folks that are tired of this crap.]
It always baffles me that so many people vote democrat who continue to raise all taxes on the people. Of the 51% who would leave, I wonder how many voted democrat! I would really like to know.
[Everybody seems to have known what Corzine was going to do and he was elected anyway.
Maybe NJ should start letting the people pick their leaders rather than the Unions .]
Better yet, maybe the people of N.J. should elect conservative republicans who lower taxes. They are blind, blind, and again, blind.
Hmmm. I think it was the “pretend” part that did you in.
I think you’re nice....sometimes. LOL :D
Shouldn’t it read, “Most New Jersey Taxpapers Want to Move Out of State”?
I don’t get it either ....
Praying hubby finds another position OUT OF NEW JERSEY!
“Shouldn’t it read, “Most New Jersey Taxpapers Want to Move Out of State”?”
I agree. Those that PAY THEIR OWN WAY and fed up with the freeloaders, corruption and sewer moral values.
Great PIE CHART!
You speak the truth.
Just a lonely HARD CORE fiscal and SOCIAL conservative!
It’s horrible in NJ.
