Massive tax increases, corruption, over-regulation, too much government, and increasing social programs were the reason I left my huge family behind in 1996. Since then -- matters have become so bad in New Jersey that many members of my family have been planning to exit.
It is now a state catering to the non-working, the illegal immigrant, big government, and unions. (The New Jersey Teachers' Union -- NJEA being the most powerful union in hte state.)
It is criminal what is happening in New Jersey.

It truly is an awful state (except for its physical beauty). But you forgot to mention eminent domain which is destroying the Jersey Shore.
