And here’s worse news - half of those wanting to leave are under the age of 50, and 60% are making between $50-$60,000.00 per year.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.anklebitingpundits.com/content/index.php?p=2676">the state is $58 billion in the hole thanks to the promise of “free” health care for retirees. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.anklebitingpundits.com/content/index.php?p=2676"><P>But in a way, the desire of these folks to leave is partially of their own making. They are the same ones voting in politicians that promise them the moon, who refuse to cut spending, and who somehow believe that “taxing the rich” is going to provide them with a never-ending stream of revenue.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.anklebitingpundits.com/content/index.php?p=2676"><P>Yes New Jersey, Atlas is shrugging.
