As a native Jerseyite myself, one who hasn’t set foot in Jersey in at least half a decade, I can’t say I blame them for wanting to leave the motherland. High taxes coupled with a high percentage of douchebag/hot chick co-mingling takes all the fun out of enjoying the natural charms New Jersey has to offer.
New Jersey sucks, not because it isn’t a cool place to live, but because it’s being run into the ground by White liberals who don’t care how many Black kids get gunned down in racist hate crimes as long as they can get their lawns mowed by companies paying slave wages.
This is a state that still has blue laws and where strippers can be arrested for showing people their nipples, yet lectures the rest of the country about tolerance in regards to gay marriage as if their half hearted attempt at liberal smugness makes them better than the rest of us.
I’m all for gay marriage (or civil unions for gays and straight couples who don’t want to partake in a religious “marriage”) but let’s repeal those 1920s-style morality laws before getting on our high horse, ‘kay Jersey?
New Jersey allowed itself to become the fall back suburb for pretentious New Yorkers who are priced out of Manhattan, and then complain when those people price them out of New Jersey. Now the inevitable happens, more than half the folks there can’t afford to live there anymore. From BreitBart:
TRENTON, N.J., Oct. 17 (UPI) — About half of New Jersey residents wish they were living somewhere else, with most citing high living costs as the reason, a newspaper poll found.
Just over half of those who said they want to move expect to follow through on it, Gannet News Service reported.
Frederick Huffenus, a retired police officer, said he plans to move to North Carolina as soon as he gets a heart transplant. He has one son already there and hopes his two children still in New Jersey will also make the move.
“I love New Jersey,” Huffenus said. “New Jersey has everything I want. … But I want that peace of mind. You’re penalized for living here all your life, you work hard and save all your life, and then you’re taxed.”
A Rutgers University study released last week found a sharp uptick last year in out-migration.
Fifteen percent of those polled picked Florida as their destination, while 14 percent would like to go to North Carolina. A total of 21 percent would like to make a short move to nearby Pennsylvania, Delaware or Maryland.
The University of Monmouth Polling Institute surveyed 801 adult New Jerseyans. The margin of error is 3.5 percent.
So if this poll is worth the ink it was printed with we can deduce that New Jersey will lose roughly 25% of it’s population sometime soon in a mass exodus. I guess this is Bush’s fault, after all he raised all the taxes…oh, wait.
It’s a corrupt Democrat infested government that continues to enrich themselves and their supporters by pillaging the state, and will raise taxes again when the population drops.
Speaking of the tragic destruction of New Jersey from within, Kevin Smith is doing a new horror flick called…wait for it … Red State. The movie will focus on a Fred Phelps-like character, something that really scares the suddenly effeminate Smith. Call me that guy but I already see a problem with the film. Phelps is a registered Democrat.
His son served as a delegate for Gore in ’84 after Phelps did some fund raising for him (Gore took an anti-Gay stance in the ’80s) and ran for governor as a Democrat. That’s info that’s even on Wikipedia, so Smith has no excuse to not know it.
Oops. I guess Smith will change the name of the movie to Blue State (or Hypocrite). Another douche bringing shame to the good name of New Jersey.
As New Jersey crumbles beneath the weight of its own corruption, take heart that the legacy of New Jersey’s former glory lives on:
