Whoa! Fifty-Percent Would Leave Blue NJ

I've railed against NJ as a failing Blue (liberal) state and the corruption is well-documented. A recent poll claims fifty-percent of the population wanst out, with half of those claiming they'll act on it. The state is already suffering from high out-migration.

TRENTON, N.J., Oct. 17 (UPI) -- About half of New Jersey residents wish they were living somewhere else, with most citing high living costs as the reason, a newspaper poll found.

Just over half of those who said they want to move expect to follow through on it, Gannet News Service reported.

Frederick Huffenus, a retired police officer, said he plans to move to North Carolina as soon as he gets a heart transplant. He has one son already there and hopes his two children still in New Jersey will also make the move.

A Rutgers University study released last week found a sharp uptick last year in out-migration.

Geeze, are there many left? About 40% already live among us rednecks.

I have plenty of friends and friends of my relatives up there and they are just waiting for themselves to have their pensions kick in and social security kick in and move to greener pastures. They will sell out their inflated priced houses and use the capital gains to buy a nicer home in areas like Florida and the midwest and give the state the finger on the way out the door.

I have even seen countdown clocks in some houses up there.

The cancer of failed and corrupt democrat government and its enablers continue to metastasize unabated in red states . For those of us already living in red states, we find that the addition of illegal immigrants plus legal blue immigrants only multiplies the speed by which we find ourselves sliding into a 3rd world quality of life.

The really sad thing about this is that they will vote to do the samethings to the places they move to.

Gawd they aren't moving to SD are they?? Down here they all long for the beauty of Newark or Camden, all of the wonderful, really cheap amenities.....without having to shovel snow.
