I don't like high taxes, but I also don't care for Joe either.

Socialist? Hardly. At least in socialist countries your taxes pay for something you get back. What do we get in NJ for our high taxes? Corrupt politicians stealing money and awarding bloated contracts to friends and family? Tons of funding for schools in the Abbott districts that accomplished nothing but underfunding everyone else's school systems resulting in higher property taxes to make up for it? We are the only state who forces locals to pay for going to the beach, yet other states have no problem maintaining theirs without charging an arm and a leg. We have some of the highest sales tax rates in the country. We have tons of tiny towns resulting in way too many officials costing us tax money.

This isn't socialism, this is just plain robbery. I love New Jersey with all my heart, but between the stupid taxes and nanny state laws, it just makes less and less sense to be here.

Based on how I've stated I've voted otherwise in response to you saying that multiple times before and you still post it, I'll agree with that second statement...

Decades of democrat social policy have shaped this state. It doesn't work in Camden, Paterson, Trenton, Newark or Venezuela. Everyplace that democrats are in control degenerates into a crap hole. Sometimes literally, like San Francisco. But you people are still all in.

This is liberalism:

what shithole  place is that?

San Francisco. It was once a really beautiful place, but when you have dems running the show long enough you'll always hit a tipping point.
