The Election is only a few days away and just curious if a greater # of people will exit the state. NJ is #1 in people leaving the state. The are some questionable things about Murphy 1- He wants to make it a Sanctuary state,look how that has turned out in other states 2- He has no plans on reducing property taxes but will raise them instead. Kim G said she does but we all have that before and they never do in the 32 years I have been living in NJ Just looking for people opinion Thanks
In response to the thread question: YES I think so!
Potentially after election night they'll be an increase in "I'm leaving NJ" threads and probably rightfully so. There's already people commenting in CD and around the internet saying that they'll move out of NJ if Murphy wins.
It seems that every time I open my ears to the goings on in NJ politics it seems they (the tax increase hungry) are trying to find a legal way to extort from hard working peoples with no ending in sight imo.
New taxes? Yeah who know if Murphy wins maybe a new annual motor vehicle property tax amongst other taxes going upwards. The dems/liberals/some repubs love to tax and spend on what I have no idea sometimes as those increased tax receipts seems to go into "the black hole". With all the taxpayers in this state I many times wonder why NJ never has enough tax income - I can guess why though.
NJ is $ out of control imho.
If Kim wins she'll probably "temper" the tax increase situation and no sanctuary state garbage to worry about. To me she's definitely the better of the two running for sure.

There is only so much the governor can do to influence the tax burden. NJ is in a financial pickle regardless of the outcome of this election.
With the current political atmosphere in the nation as a whole, I believe I will be forced out of the State. Even for a minority as myself, New Jersey has become way too liberal for me and my family. The cost is excessive and there is no end in sight. And it will continue to go crazier now that most liberals are trying to......."resist" (whatever the f*** that means).
The legislative politicians in addition to an activist, legislating court does more damage than a governor can.
We are looking at both houses and gov being democrat vs a repub and both house being democrat. then add in the judicial and prosecutorial activists, which, if nothing else, CC did dump that one anti gun activist judge.
NJ is lost cause because of its accumulation of past legislative transgressions and the lack of incentive to change the political landscape. Add to that the high tolerance of the 'voters' to pain and stunning gullibility, place NJ's neck is in a snare that just tightens after every election.
Deblasio...ooops! murphy, will be elected for one term. His academic theoretical social justice tendencies and proposed legislative platform ignore the reality of what would make NJ livable for the greater majority of citizens.
Murphy continues the legacy of goldman alum collecting political trophies. As legendary as free masons, Goldman alum have enjoyed key positions on the political landscape from senator to governor to head of the treasury. Odd that none of them have been outstanding, innovative or helpful. If obama and hillary's financial guru, jon corzine, senator governor and now hedge fund manager, could solve NJ economic woes, Murphy will hardly be a footnote except for a mass migration to PA, DE, MD. That includes business and citizens.
When a guy pays 200k a year property tax, don't expect someone who can relate to NJ citizens except in academic theory, like a kardashian living with a normal family in a 1,500 sq ft home and 10 year car. Good for reality TV, a spectacle for sure and a certificate that proclaims intimate knowledge of the 'little people' that had no clue a purse can cost 40K dollars.
Yes but if Murphy wins his bad $ tax ideas will mostly get majority support and passed.
Murphy = more $ tax extortion than Kim would potentially imho.
I mean, we either pay the pension or try to be the first state to file for bankruptcy protection down the road. NJEA isn't taking concessions. Both scenario have bad outcomes. At the end of the day, we can't keep giving public transit the shaft - so that has to be funded somehow.

Try more like $407,862.64 a year. The $200K is only for the first bi-annual tax bill......
