Enjoy the suck, Joisey!
The libs co-opted our color in 2000. We are true blue, they are commie-red.
Now, I know this is crazy, but if New Jersey lowered taxes they would have a more affordable state.
Insane, isn’t it?
Very high taxes there....
Ever notice how politicians only talk about the income side of the state budget, never the spending side. If you people in NJ want lower taxes, you ought to follow the money and see where it’s all going, ‘cuz your state’s expenses can’t be that much different than other states where property and income taxes are lower.
Blue as in liberal, Democrat and RICH. Yeah. The Uber Rich WILL “suffer” in the Blue states, while average middle class workers, even in Blue States, will benefit.
Livingston is the home of liberal megamansions.

It’s called “taxing the rich” and it’s what you liberal morons have been calling for.
NJ says “Hey, the tax cut means more money for you so now we’ll raise taxes just to keep your tax expenditures the same”
How does a home become less affordable when home values fall?
This is the abject stupidity that you find even in a very wealthy town in New Jersey. Jared Kushner and Chris Christie grew up in Livingston.
The whole Dem and ally MSM storyline is that this is giveaway to the rich. The rich Dems in Livingston don’t think so. I think they feel there must be some way of just taxing the Republican rich.
Hahaha. I don’t live in these tax-insane states run by LIB lunatics. I am tired of subsidizing their lunacy. Suck it up, residents. You continue voting for these LIB morons. Merry Christmas!
I’m from Jersey, and lived for five years in West Orange (literally next door to Livingston). Short Hills is on the other side, and is even wealthier than Livingston.
All that I can say to these folks is, “Elections have consequences!” You people, by voting in Leftists on the federal, state and local level have made living in your area unaffordable for most, and only affordable for probably half of the folks that DO live there because of the federal tax subsidy going back to your state and local governments. Well, finally the rest of the country got sick and tired of subsidizing YOUR government, and took the goodies away.
Too freaking bad - boo, freaking hoo!!!!! You $hit in your own bed, and now you’re upset that it smells.
The Horror . . .
It sounds to me like their problems are more at the state and local level than federal.
Paying his fair share sucks.
Not so all the liberals around here, who are always calling for more government spending and abiding higher taxes.
It's clear that the tax bill will lower taxes for people who do not itemize, which is just about everyone who doesn't own their own home; i.e, the not so rich. But my rich neighbors are all of a sudden for fairness; fairness for themselves.
ML/NJ
I’m in Morris County. My property taxes exceed the cap of deductabilty, but I’m OK with it. I think the increase in national economic activity from this tax plan will benefit other investments. The downside is that this incoming a$$hat, Gov Murphy, has promised higher taxes. The push back from people with high property taxes may compel him to think otherwise. Then again, it’s a Dem legislature, so probably not. The fiscal problems stem from over commitment to state union pensions which Christie tried to address, and is why he became vilified.
You and you alone voted those tax and spend artists in your state, now you get the bill for all the policies you demanded.
Its high time you pay for what you wanted rather than in low or no tax states pick up your bills nationally on more liberal public services you now want for the country.
As for us in flyover country, we demand fiscal sanity and vote our tax and spend libs eventually!
Oh, I’m sorry....I guess we shouldn’t have tax cuts, because NJ might get deeper into debt. Dear high tax states, people can move, so why not lower taxes and spending...
