“New Jersey is owned and operated by the education mafia (and God knows what other mafia).”
The FOP and PBA Mafias, the COnstruction Mafia, the Trial Attorneys Mafia and the Insurance Mafia.
They run Trenton.
Demcorats stay in power by harnassing the voting blocks of the inner cities in Hudson, Camden, Mercer, etc Counties, pandering to minorities, and by sucking up top the above mafias.
” Like the hopeless drunk who wakes up in a dumpster one afternoon covered in his own feces, urine, and vomit, New Jersey must hit rock bottom before there can be any hope of recovery.”
They are there already. Apparently they still don’t get it.
