I don't really have any sympathy for them. They voted for the party that favors high taxes and spending. So why don't they want to put up with it? The old adage applies here - you get what you vote for. And an $11,000 property tax bill ought to be chump change for New Jersey liberals.

Bite your tongue! YOu need to think of NJ as two states, North Jersey and South Jersey. Very different entities. NYC dominates one, Philly dominates the other. North Jersey is where all the stereotypical New Jersey things are (big chemical plants spewing toxic fumes, broken down cities, population density similar to that inside a major bee hive, etc). South Jersey is much less developed, more spread out, fewer people, etc.

The problem is that North Jersey dominates the state politically. Name the last Senator or Governor from South Jersey. You cannot unless you want to go back beyond my memory. And North Jersey is stuffed to the gills with liberal NYC exiles who appratently will vote for any democrat no matter how corrupt or morally bankrupt. I never voted for a democrat in this state, and I never will unless they change their priorities 180 degrees. Of course the Repubilicans are all RINOs, so not much help there.

I'd move out of this state in a heartbeat if my wife would have it. But we'll have a libertarian governor before that will happen.
