People in this state have endured decades of severe taxation. With no avail. except to be smooched by politicians that in the end, really exaserbate the problem, whether they know it or not. Our system of essentially one party rule and an arguably brain-washed 'pull the voting lever ONLY this way' may have contributed to this prob.

 

Hardly hear about it on Nat'l media, yet it has will and will be affecting all people in NJ.

 

Incidentally, as a GENERAL way, it also parallels to SOME degree a list of restrictive (gun law) high tax states vs. 'Free States'.

Well, people think they can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from their federal tax bill when they calculate what they can afford.

 

Once you don't have a job, all that is left is NJ property taxes. And, nothing to deduct. Even if you can keep it cool with your mortgage company.

NJ has the HIGHEST tax burden in the country as well

Just saw an anti-Christie ad on TV , depicting him as evil because he is cutting govt spending. To me, that's great news. To the 'entitle-ist extremist' (because everyone throws the word "extremist" in to denote a bad color of character), it is their marching call. I have friends here in NJ who's property tax burden has doubled in the past 4 years. How insane is that. Local governments say they have to do it because the State is no longer feeding them free money. It is going to be painful getting off the unlimited credit card the entitle-ists have been waving around for a few decades.

 

I suppose someone is going to get stuck paying the bill for our Bloatvernment - Number of Govt Employees chart Here

Funny you mentioned this. I met a guy today who made a fortune buying the "tax liens" on homes. usually they were in a bad situation etc. and only had enough money to cover their mortgages and not enough for their taxes on the homes. Every so often he would buy the tax lien and evicted the people from their homes. On an $8000 lien he was getting 200,000+ houses and selling them.

 

I wouldnt have the heart to do that,but it happens alot according to him

I'm not a Christie fan - not because of his anti-union policies or his "cutting spending" policies - but because of his apparent cronyism. His "buddy" is collecting a pension and a salary and he takes 3 days to come out and make a lame azz comment while excoriating someone else who is not his "buddy"...

 

cut the crap Christie.

+1, unless we get a better republican we may be stuck with him for a while

At this point, I am beyond Republican or Democrat. I want a fiscal conservative who will not abide any cronyism, corruption, greed, kickbacks, etc. I really don't care if they come from the Green America party, the Libertarian Party, the NJ Communist Party... Talk the talk and back it up with actions. The rest of it is was and will be BS.

That's beyond his control, man. Christie can tell him to cut it out, but it's 100% legal and there's no way that Christie can make him stop it.

Like Steve Lonegan?

 

Completely unelectable in this state... People want their cake and eat it too here. Can't do much about that when you have universal suffrage and the population is dominated by morons.

It may be beyond his control. However, when you verbally beat the shyte out of your enemy and merely slap the hand of your buddy, for doing the same exact thing it stinks of super cronyism.

 

And we wonder why our taxes are totally out of control.

 

AHH - damn, this is politics and it shouldn't be in this section...

Sure he can..he can PUBLICLY Call for his resignation. Christie is damning people who are looking to get one pension..and IGNORING the scumbags around him who are looking to collect MULTIPLE pensions...and ignoring the fact that the PERS is going bankrupt BECAUSE of those people.
