Take into account purchasing power parity, and you will see that we are not as “wealthy” as these numbers indicate.

Well, I’m not one of them. However, we do know a few “millionaires” living here in South Jersey, and they didn’t get rich working in financial services. They were entrepreneurs for start-up companies in other business sectors.

They’re the only ones who can afford to pay the property taxes.

Yes, like millionaires (because they bought their home 40 years ago) who can’t afford to pay property taxes (like 20K/year for a fairly modest house in some towns.)

I remember once in the 60’s there was a section of Wichita Falls, Texas, that had more millionaires than anywhere else in the country.
To: heartwood
Sweet lord. 20K a year for property tax.

I always thought of South Jersey as being filled with Yoo-yun members who took the Walt Whitman Bridge to Gloucestor and Camden Counties. There are some wealthy folks in places like Haddonfield, but most of the wealth in the state is concentrated north of I-195, especially in Hunterdon/Somerset/Morris Counties (all of which vote GOP, BTW).

Corzine was a “pump and dumper” who was “asked to leave” Goldman by Hank Paulsen. He is an outstanding salesman, but far from a financial genius (as shown by his pathetic budgets).

Doesn’t Corzine look like a street bum who happened to steal a nice suit that happened to fit?
To: Pharmboy
When my BIL (an engineer) tell me how much the mechanics make at his company's plant in Tennessee, I ask him if he's not really living in Bangladesh. Yet with wage levels as low as they are down there, these same folks can afford to own their own homes.

Its the same type of suit they give you when you are discharged from the penitentiary. I've always suspected that "Jon Corzine" is an assumed name, and that he actually was somebody else while doing time in Joliet for embezzlement.
He was a great salesman, which accounted for his wealth. All that money can buy neither class nor management skills.

Maybe some are “the millionaire next door,” folks who got into run of the mill small businesses and worked long and hard over the years. I understand the owners of plumbing companies, electrical contractors, and HVAC contractors can often do this. One plumber told me he makes as much as a physician in a specialty.
To: Clemenza
I'm no judge of clothes--they don't hang well on my fat butt--but his suits do look expensive.
To: Clemenza
You HAVE to be a millionaire to pay the taxes there!

Few people realize that, when you look at profiles of the wealthy, how many are business owners/entrepreneurs versus “salarymen.”
