" ... people prefer raising ths sales tax, because they can get around that by shopping online."


Very doubtful.

More probably they rather have everyone share the misery, including the non income taxpaying and the freeloaders.

I wish I could remember where I read it, I'm sure it was print media.

I live here too and you're right it is f'd up! RE Taxes are absurd! Me for one, won't be able to stay here much longer! I simply can't see giving these thieves $1K a month for nothing!

Schools are no big deal in the suburban areas, forget about Newark, Paterson etc. Just training ground for the local jails.

I left Brooklyn 30 yrs ago, I'll just leave NJ and take my tax money with me.

yes, there is something to that also.

but sales tax is optional today - depending on how aggressive a person wants to be with online shopping.

Actually some of the suburban schools are quite good. They always are among the top scoring school districts in the country.

But on the whole, I agree with your assessment and will be right behind you leaving the state once we are empty nesters. The funny part is that I'll bet most of the rest of the country thinks we are blowing smoke when we talk about 12-15K per year property taxes an a 4 bedroom colonial on a 100X100 lot in Central or Northern Jersey.

They don't believe it! In SC, which is no big deal EX Hilton Head, you can be paying less than $2k.

Its like throwing money down the toilet!
