falcone 89 Posted April 20, 2018 I’m sick of hearing him and all the other libs saying we’re getting a lot back for our money. We’re not getting shit back. Just look at our roads. It’s been a year since the extra gas tax was passed and we still have roads like the surface of the moon. Just talked to my buddy down in Virginia the other day. He’s got a 3 bedroom house on 6 acres next to a lake. Has all the city services we get here. He pays $2500 a year in taxes while I’m over here paying over 10k for similar house on an 1/8 of an acre 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voyager9 3,434 Posted April 20, 2018 Gotta be careful blasting the state government for our Property Tax. At least for mine 70% of it is local/district school system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is raising the “fee” for NJSP to be a NICS proxy then it probably cant be fought. Depends, NICS is free in many states... just like voting. I don't believe anyone has gone after the NICS fee to begin with, on top of all the others fees. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should someone remind him thats the point of his job? To represent the people in and of NJ. None of it changes the result of people leaving, and the taxes they take with them. Now, he just sounds like a bigger idiot. 4 minutes ago, W2MC said: That just means there's plenty of blame to go around... To be fair, most districts should be receiving state tax dollars for educaton. If you took the Newark Schools money received from the state and others and distributed it FAIRLY to all districts. that 70% would look more like 50%. The fact is, we pay for our own schools, and then we pay for all the abbots and the inner cities. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No tax could possibly be too high because I am exempt.

SJG 253 Posted April 20, 2018 Yeah! more taxes! that we can't deduct on our Federal Return due to the anticipated impact of a Murphy tax screw job (which we knew was coming( and Trump caps! on tax deductions. Buy everything out of State and have it shipped here! (However the US Supreme Court has a case pending decision where various States want to Scrap the internet sales tax exemption so in State merchants can compete with out of State vendors who do not collect sales tax on internet sales because they do not have a physical presence in N.J. This State is in real bad financial shape not the least of which is that Christy raided the State pension funds and now only about 1/3 of the States future pension obligations is presently funded and at the present rate will run out of money for younger employees who are forced to pay into the system.

Unlike other taxes and fees that go right into the state’s coffers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJG 253 Posted April 20, 2018 In thinking about what I said concerning Christy, I am incorrect, it was his predecessors who raided the State Pension funds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sucks doesn't it. Lehman Bros. wouldn't play ball with Obumers bailout on our dime, so he let them go belly up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corzine's hedge fund just wasn't big enough not to fail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
