Here in NJ anyone who can get welfare does (including illegals with anchor babies); the burden is placed on taxpayers, who have stopped breeding to pony up the money for the unproductive takers. As a result, the taxpayers (individual & corporate) are fleeing NJ in droves, leaving behind the permanent welfare class, illegal aliens, and the gubmint workers to “administer” them (policing, education, housing, etc.).
It is a death spiral that is picking up speed; “slow death spiral” would be an optimistic way to put it. We just lost an electoral vote, and will certainly lose more; NY is in the same position.
Your property taxes alone will sink N.J
That all eventually hits the wall, when tax revenues plunge, leaving the welfare parasites/illegals and elite government employee class holding an empty bag.
