We’ve been reporting on these trends for YEARS, Save Jerseyans, but since today’s unveiled Democrat FY 2016 budget proves Democrats still haven’t learned (or still don’t care, depending on whether you’ve reach our collective Save Jersey level of cynicism), let’s do it all over again…
We’ve got a brand new CNBC analysis of tax data out today which synthesized information provided by two of the biggest U.S. moving companies. Unsurprisingly, CNBC (not Fox News, mind you) found a correlation between high-tax states and outbound migration.
New Jersey’s net moves leaving? 60%.
The next point isn’t any more debatable: when you’re already one of the nation’s most-taxed states, more tax increases DO NOT correlate to more revenue in the long haul. You can’t tax air…. or ghosts.
Pull your heads out of your rears, Speaker Prieto and President Sweeney. Your party is winning elections by default, forcing the opposition to vote with its feet. I personally wouldn’t want to rule over what’s left.
Stand up to your union pals sooner rather than later; it’s only going to get worse down the road…. after the rest of us have hit the road….

Obviously the half-measures have failed. Perhaps if theres another failed liberal administration in 2017-21 we can have a conservative revolution and finally introduce a pro-growth Sunbelt style government in this state.
Prieto and Sweeney should be ashamed of themselves! Unfortunately nothing will change until this State is left with just those two and their Supporters.
