To be fair, Jersey gets a bit screwed in income tax collection because a good number of its highest earners pay NYS and PA income tax, and Jersey only gets a small portion of the total state income tax because of the state tax credits.

B-Man Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 No "he" or "she" WATCH: Democrat State Senator Announces Using 'He/She' Pronouns Will Be Banned During Hearings California knows no bounds when it comes to radical LGBT activism. On Thursday, State Senator and Senate Judiciary Committee chair Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) announced that only "gender neutral" pronouns will be permitted during committee hearings. "Our first order of business is to approve the committee rules. I'd like to note — in respecting the fact that we are now a state recognizing the non-binary designation as a gender — he and she, we are now merging them so we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over: we are using the phrase ‘they’ and replacing other designations so it's a gender neutral designation: ‘they,’” announced the Democrat. “Basically, that’s the primary reforms and revisions to the committee rules.” “In the spirit of gender neutrality for the rules of this committee, we now designate the chair as ‘they,’” Jackson corrected the record. https://www.dailywire.com/news/42389/watch-democrat-state-senator-announces-politically-amanda-prestigiacomo?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=062316-news&utm_campaign=dwbrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numark3 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Eh, I don't agree with this thread. Does California do a lot of goofy things? Of course. A ton in fact. But they also drive a lot of progressive ideas in our court system, historically and currently. Their views are pretty crucial to our legal system, and it is one of the more important states when it comes to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to argue with your point; I just want to point out that stories like "Newsome wants to give money to illegals to help them" and "Newsome wants illegals to have free health care" and "Newsome wants to tax water" and "Newsome wants to increase gas taxes" is why so many of us are running out of the state. The government is bending over to give money to illegals, and give them sanctuary as they murder and maim taxpaying Americans, but making homeless suffer and being the B word of every union here, especially the teachers right now. The unions will get their money and Newsome will tax something else to pay for it, but on behalf of those companies who are tired of carrying the tax needs of 40M people on its back, I'm out. This state can go eff itself because it literally cares not one iota for it's people. Edited January 23, 2019 by LABillzFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think laughing at their silliness and disagreeing with their ideas is fine, but their progressiveness is definitely a trailblazer for the country and the court system. The ideas they get right can be trendsetters. That's my only point haha No I don't live there (though I do enjoy my time there!), but I do a lot of work there.

I can laugh and mock them all I want, but in the end, I realized it wasn't enough. I had to leave. Financially, this state is a mess. A nasty, nasty mess.

Most of the recovery happened under Obama after the recession reached its peak, but I'm guessing the repeal of the SALT deduction doesn't help as they're so dependent on the high tax rate of those making 250k or more. You're probably right. Edited January 23, 2019 by Doc Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
