The only people moving in are foreigners who don’t expect to contribute their share of our debt - through working for cash, renting out illegal apartments, or just going straight onto the dole. Exactly.
I once had a neighbor that worked for both Governors McGreevy and Corzine.
His entire attitude was summed up as such (almost a directly quote as I can remember:
"New Jersey has more millionaire per square mile than any other state. We need to raise taxes even more. People complain about property taxes being raised so much, but they are just ignorant about how incredible and talented the government workers and teachers in New Jersey are in really are. States with low property taxes are redneck states. The pensions and benefits our workers have to be protected, so the citizens of New Jersey are just going to have find a way to pay their fair share. Every time I hear these people complain, I want to scream at them to skip going to the shore every year on vacation. And people complain about the Abbott districts, but without the rich white neighborhoods paying more, what do you think would happen to the districts in poor black and Hispanic neighborhoods? The rich neighborhoods can afford to pay for everyone else, and why shouldn't they? It's only fair."
