The Boss would never leave Jersey! He loves the Rats he helps put in office and loves their high taxes even more!!
The tax was strategically designed to affect as few people as possible. There are just not that many people with an AGI over $500K, even in NJ.
It is probably the property taxes that are the biggest driver.
Notice how Bergen county and so many of the other upper class areas are ‘rat voting limo libs. Now they won’t pay the taxes the people they vote for raise. Just like the Massholes in New Hampshire they bring the same politics they run from into their newly adopeted states. Even if they are Republicans they are probably calling up their GOP congressmen to advocate amanesty. To heck with them.
Bruce Springsteen is the very definition of a “LIMOSUINE Riding LIBERAL”. What a fraud.
A lot of them come here to PA where our State Constitution mandates a flat tax.
Thank God! The country already has enough attitude to go around.
That’s what I’ve been seeing. The property taxes are outa control.

I once heard that he owns $200 million in triple-tax-exempt NJ municipal bonds.
Anybody seen his state tax returns to confirm where he “legally” lives?
Noted the link was to “Semi-Satire” but it may eventually get to that point. I was at a luncheon with the former county treasurer (’rat), who stated to our group that 46% of county real estate tax goes to servicing county pensions. City of Chicago pensions added to Cook County pensions would probably double, if not triple, real estate taxes.
Gee, ya think? How totally unexpected...NOT.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So NJ lawmakers, who are probably as constitutionally clueless as the low-information voters who elected them to office are, likewise probably don't understand that much of the federal taxes that rich NJ residents are paying should never have left the state in the first place. In fact, such taxes are arguably state revenues that could substitute for the high taxes that rich residents are trying not to pay.
The average millenial knows far more about “climate change” than the US Constitution.
Where is FAT BOI?
