I'm hoping two things come from my new Governor now that the winter storm is over -
A Notice of Change (60 days required) to change the NJ State Constitution to allow for re-districting in NJ.
A communication that she will be working with other Blue State Trifectas to create a Union of States to build public health, trade, international connections as a shadow govt.

(69,370 posts)For over 170 years the U.S. has put up with "the South" bitching and moaning. They spread their toxicity to the Midwest. (Full disclosure, I was raised in red Ohio and have lived in the south for almost 50 years).
Time for decent people to band together and form a progressive nation within the U.S. Maybe everybody will see that science, technology, history, literature, and the arts are actually good for the economy.

(38,057 posts)We have a trifecta. We make it illegal for employers to collect payroll income taxes for the Fed. SS and Medicare - continue. This will all end someday. But they really don't need our tax dollars. They aren't providing any services with them - just lining Donold's and JD's pockets.

(4,043 posts)I don't think they'll see it that way. They'll want our taxes while withholding benefits. I wonder if SS and Medicare would be safe with this Union in place.
I do like the idea of states working together to do what the Feds are no longer doing. I just don't think it's simple.

(38,057 posts)Still gets the least back for what we pay in. Granted they lifted the SALT Cap up to 40K . . .
But on principle alone? No one should have to pay property taxes twice.
For five years I paid property taxes for my excellent public schools, FD, PD, Public works .. .
Then I paid again so a couple in say - Mississippi making twice what we make don't have to fund their public schools. They beat the system - and get to send their kids to White Segregated 'Christian Schools'.
It's a total rip off.

And a bit personal; a dear relative (US born) worked for them for decades. Even moving to Geneva some years in.
He's gone now; he'd be horrified.
