Dick Morris was right about one thing.
Corzine is going to change NJ into a red state.

Yup, that's what happened in Massachusetts, with many companies moving their headquarters to other places (NH, Va. Fla and Arizona) rather than deal with the Taxachusetts attitude that remains to this day.

NJ will wake up someday and they will be a seasonal economy only.

Much of it was university related. The high tech industries around Rte. 128 in Massachusetts owed their start to MIT and Harvard. In New Jersey, it was mostly Princeton and Rutgers.
But with skyrocketing taxes, insurance costs, etc., it's no longer as attractive as it was.

s...pffft Who cares what happens to a Blue State's citizens? In addition to losing these tech jobs, NJ just passed a law for higher taxes a few months ago.
People don't understand until it's too late like Taxachusetts that taxes play a big role in whether companies start up and/or continue to do business in their state.

RCA in Camden was pretty hi tech in its day (my dad worked on radios and TV there in the 50's).

I love NJ. My family has had a house at the shore since 1964, but holy crap, the taxes and government corruption are beyond belief unless you have to deal with it...no wonder business is leaving.

To all my NJ freeper friends. sorry But your state is getting what it deserves. The people elected Corzine and knew what they were getting.
To: HonestConservative
I know 5 Pharma guys who have been transferred to North Carolina in the past five years. It's getting to be an exodus. When somebody moves out, you don't even have to ask where they're going.
One of my friends said that when he got to North Carolina, he found a lot of people in his new town that moved there from his old town.

Edison got his start in Edison, NJ, then moved up to West Orange, NJ.
