And yall even got the big time taxes to go with it, brilliant
I don't know if you guys can tell time down there but you're numbers are from 2010 and pre-Chris Christie. We have so much surplus in the system that it would take states like Louisiana 453 years to pay us back.... and that would require Louisiana to actually show some productivity for once. We all know that's not happening for the welfare state.

If NJ wasn't subsidizing the unproductive south, the state would have plenty of money to cover its budget.

Yeah because if you step foot inside city limits you will be murdered

Talk about out of touch with reality.

Most conservatives are scared to drive through Detroit.

There are plenty of knuckle draggers there, but the scenery is great outside of the cities.
But Oklahoma is a lot more scenic than Kansas. The problem is that the interstates in Oklahoma don't take you through much of its hill and forested country side. The main thing about the scenery I remember about Mississippi was like it was always driving through a tunnel because the land was so flat and covered by pine trees.

Yes, this is the entitlement attitude of welfare recipients.

That sure doesn't describe the delta region of Mississippi. Dead flat, mostly farm land, very few trees for miles in all directions. Route 61, Tunica going south.

How about this from 6 months ago.How Bad Is NJ’s Financial Situation? [AUDIO]

It seems New Jersey can't support anyone.


“The latest report from Moody’s is once again great cause for concern for New Jersey taxpayers, especially considering the agency expects New Jersey’s economic and employment growth to lag the rest of the nation through 2014,” says Prieto. “The only people benefiting under Gov. Christie’s economic policies are the millionaires enjoying their Christie tax cuts. It’s certainly not those enduring 9 percent unemployment and a net 20 percent property tax increase under Gov. Christie.”

I guess we're too busy providing welfare to states like South Carolina. Not every state gets to live off the federal government's teat.
