Numerous God-given rights are listed in the Bill of Rights. If NJ charged $500 per person for exercising those rights each year, they could bring in thousands of dollars per person. I’m sure that Dems see nothing wrong with this dramatic expansion of the old poll tax idea.
Ironic, actually:
NEW JERSEY STATE CONSTITUTION
Article 1
Sec 5. No person shall be denied the enjoyment of any civil or military right, nor be discriminated against in the exercise of any civil or military right, nor be segregated in the militia or in the public schools, because of religious principles, race, color, ancestry or national origin.
