“I know of three blue state Freepers who go to Fist City when you suggest they voted for what they live under. They’re fun to watch.”

Question: When the Democrats controlled the House, Senate and the Executive branch, did you vote for it? Apparently, by your logic, you must have.

Here in NJ we just rent our homes from the teachers’ unions - and pay $500 per month in school taxes alone to prove it. Companies and childless taxpayers see no point in staying here, and it is having a devastating effect. Whereas people used to wait until retirement to flee, they’ve begun leaving as soon as their last child graduates high school. The borders are kept open to replace the fleeing American taxpayers, but the imports aren’t a viable source of tax revenue. Instead, they are often just a costly drain of dwindling resources; they hasten the death spiral, and nobody wants to be the last taxpayer in NJ...

Both NY and NJ Dems are desperate to bring Puerto Rican “refugees” up here to replace our fleeing taxpayers; they are particularly desirable because they’ll bring lots of kids as fodder for the public education industrial complex.

That’s what pisses me off. The libs flee to TN, and 10 years from now we’ll be a blue-state sh!thole just like the one they left.

Surely the new tax and spend governor had the foresight put in place some sort of large “exit tax”, a substantial penalty for moving out of the state..?

“Oh no, please don’t let them be from Seattle!!”

Chances are they are from Seattle or some other high property tax, leftist-controlled WA county since their high (>$10K) property tax can no longer be used to reduce their federal tax bill.

IOW they are economic refugees fleeing from a high property tax county to a low property tax county.

Took a road trip up there to visit my Mom. Unfortunately, she is bat sh-t like the rest of them. That place reminded me of Russia...and not the few tourist places!!
