At least Californicator land is not #1, in this reality.
NY has a ‘congestion tax” now- as well as a whole slew of asinine taxes- like their “metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax”
IF they could tax breathing, they would, and will-
Taxes are such a personal thing. i.e. we all pay differently. I live in an income tax state (Kentucky). It means the real estate and sales taxes are low because of it. And since I’m retired I pay zero income tax. Which means my taxes are absurdly low. But if I was a young high wage earner, I just may want to switch states...
My aunt and uncle lived in New Jersey and my uncle told me his property tax was $9,000 a year when I visit them in 2003.
He bought his home in 1959 for $42,000....
Every 5 years he pays for his house all over again and again and again.
He pointed to a home being built further up the block and said that was a million dollar home. Imagine the tax on that!
Good one.
Carlin bought the home of Eddie Evans, a childhood friend in Saddle River, NJ a coon’s age ago. (East Road)
Nixon’s old neighborhood, I know this because I lived in Allendale.
Nixon bought Alfred’s house. A friend used to drive his pick up with an empty dynamite box in back just to harass the secret service.
>> Residents of New Jersey will pay the most in lifetime taxe
Said this many times since Trump’s fed tax overhaul. As a state total, I believe TX pays the most.
My parents bought their home on Long Island for $35,000.
When they sold it, the taxes where $16,000 ($8,000 with the senior discount).
Just one of the many reasons my husband and I escaped from there almost 30 years ago.
Saddle River was a high rent district, Allendale was strictly working class at the time (1960’s). But for us it was heaven compared to Queens, NY.
Hush! Don't give them ideas! ;-)
Glad I don’t live in New Jersey. High taxes...and exploding deer.
My dad used to take pleasure stating that there were in fact two Democrats on your side of 17! Darned good thing he was police commissioner. High school @ Ramsey (’69). We sucked at sports. I escaped to Colorado at 17.
My lifetime isn’t over and I’ve already paid more than the “average” American. Quite a bit more. And I’ve never lived in New Jersey.
If you take a walk I’ll tax your feet
If you try to sit I’ll tax your seat
Having lived other places, not even close.
Same here. And I’m a (mostly) law abiding man on his own, minding his own business (or at least trying to). Never burdened the justice system, never any ‘assistance’, just a good-solid tax-payer getting taken to the cleaners here in CA.
True but once your over the cliff it doesn’t matter how far the fall is.
Here is Ca. the state is a money vacuum.
