11. In my Borough in NJ
Thu May 22, 2025, 06:20 AM

A family of four making 115$ K a year has been severely impacted.

He is a Borough Public Works employee and she works for the County daycare.

Property taxes ~ about 9K. The majority of that goes to our public schools. They drive late model cars. Their home is a 1500 sq foot cape cod.

It wasn't intentional, but that can be very demeaning to Working Class people in NJ.

And yes - like me - They are secessionists who find this taxation with under representation intolerable.

Dollars that are not weighted for states that put the oxygen masks on themselves - are just numbers.

Remember - they also pay state income taxes, and have mortgage interest.

Statements about "second homes" are why his wife was laughing about the misery in Missouri and Kentucky a few days ago. Followed by "Good. Now they know how it feels".
