My long time Friend bought his house in New Jersey in 1977...

(Gov. of NJ, Jon Corzine, glad-handing the Stupid New Jersians that Voted for Him & the Dems before Him) While my Friend paid $104,650 for his Home, Plus settlement costs & Interest Payments! Property Taxes were $2200 per year back then. He made a Good Living, contributed his share to the State coffers...But now...He is moving to Texas...
  • His Property Taxes in NJ, near Fort Lee, are...
  • $34,000 per year! (true story)
  • The House is on the Market for $415,000
  • It hit me when he said, @$34,000 per year I am re-buying my House
  • Every 3 Years...

Just some random thoughts...

has your friend met me??? I know a few people who have moved to Texas from PA. Good music, good weather, other than the occasional tornado, cool hats, boots, and belt buckles...why not go?

I have never visited Texas only fought there and the mosqitos were the least of my worries
