First, I never understood why so many people from India want to go to college at Rutgers University, ‘cuz all around new Brunswick and Piscataway it was very hard to find anyone who spoke english. Then of course the monuments to liberal and Democrat leadership such as Newark, Jersey City, Union City, Patterson, Camden and Trenton. The whole place is almost as utterly useless and desirable as California is.

So, here’s the problem they have up there: The people who have enough money move out. The wealthy stay because they game the system for more wealth. The poor stay because they lack the resources to leave AND because they receive more in public handouts than they would anywhere else.

I say it’s time to get rid of some of these places that are beyond reclamation. I am willing to cede New England, the Middle Atlantic, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington State, Washington D.C. and Louisiana to become an independent country so I stop having to pay taxes that help support all their nonsense. We could call it the Democrat Liberal Fascist States of America.

I JUST WANT TO BE FREE!!!

I couldn’t agree more. I have two liberal sisters-in-law who live in NJ and they seem to find it to be a “paradise” (as long as they don’t venture into hell holes like Trenton). They’re the type who say that taxes are for “the children” but where does the money that NJ claim it’s collecting for tolls, property taxes, and income taxes really go? Why can’t they do math when they’re in the red?

I’m originally from Upstate New York and the taxes are something awful in that state as well. I think we rank in the top tier of states that pay the most in taxes. My parents, who no longer have children in school, have to still pay taxes for a dysfunctional school district which won’t do anything about gang activity and believe more about teaching about “acceptance” and “sexuality” then in anything that will help our kids to be functioning, responsible adults. Then there are the tolls, the income tax, the driver’s fees, all the little ways that states are more and more taking money away from you and me. This is why I no longer live in New York.

I’ve go no better luck in Virginia where I currently live. Property taxes are outrageous (that’s why my husband and I rent), driver’s fees have gone up (oh, don’t you know to pay for the roads) and the obnoxious “personal property tax” that VA extorts from its citizens every year for the “privilege” of driving a vehicle. I’ve lived in many states (since my husband is in the military) and this is the first time I’ve run across such an onerous tax.

What is the most galling thing about high taxes in states like NJ is that there is no transparency, citizens aren’t given a justification for hikes in the taxes, and there’s no recourse or redress. What’s even more interesting is that many citizens of states like NJ and NY know that things are going to hell but they’re not willing to do a damn thing about it.

This is what you get with GOVERNMENT programs. If these were private programs, believe me, they’d be audited constantly. Yes, profit-driven (for all you liberals who hate profits and companies and people who actually make money), but then again, people wouldn’t be able to game the system.

Your government dollars (and workers) at work.

And they want universal healthcare.

Wonderful.

EXACTLY!!! Ding, ding, ding!!! Did any of you notice the new “polling/survey” of doctors about health care and how many actually support “universal health insurance?” I couldn’t believe that. We either have some very naive doctors out there, these doctors want a new sugar daddy, or they really believe that the guvment won’t stiff them or make their jobs HARDER.

It really makes you wonder why we can’t apply common sense reforms to health care without adding another tier of federal government dependence.

What scares me is that there are so many people like him. We’re screwed.

Why, because these fraudulent programs exist why give up the candy when you have a sweet tooth!

The Socialist Healthcare System, touted by Hillary, Obama, and many of the women I know, will require a new department all its own – think of Homeland Security, Social Security, U.S. Postal Security, etc.

I rest my case.

During last year’s debate over the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, President Bush was routinely excoriated in the media for saying that many states had diverted SCHIP funds from poor kids to children and adults from familie…
