I'm sick of taxes too. We red and blue, and independent need to come together and make billionaire's pay their fair share. Remember Panama papers? These greedy assholes are why we are hurting. I agree, disabled people are the only ones who should get section 8. Everyone else should be able to make a decent living no matter where they work. It starts by raising the minimum wage.

You are mad at the wrong people.

Our furnace stopped working one night a few years ago. Turns out we were out of oil. The guy from our heater / oil company had a can and poured it into our tank to hold us until a delivery could be made. His next stop was a gas station that had diesel to refill the can.

> why NJ should be a red state

What makes a red state? Having a republican governor?

Section 8 housing isn't tents. It's homes these people can live in. And it's not homeless people that are getting these.

You're paying more in taxes for corporate subsidies and other bullshit than you are for any section 8 housing or unemployment.

I myself, who works a Union Job, EVERYDAY, am really tired of paying for Section 8 housing, unemployment, etc. With my hard earned money (state taxes) … I understand if someone is disabled but, this is out of hand already … do we New Jerseyans (Jersian’s) want to end up like Oregon, Washington, parts of California or EVEN PHILADELPHIA (Heroin alley), where everyone is living in tents ⛺️ on the street? NO, I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN TO OUR STATE … Bergen County, where I live, Is the second most expensive place in the country to live, aside from Orange 🍊 County, California (where I lived for 6+ years) … IM NOT BERATING THOSE UNFORTUNATES, I’m just saying that we need to get a handle on this this issue … that’s why NJ should be a RED state for a change … not a Blue state like NY or California … just my opinion, I’m eager to see how everyone responds … God Bless, and God Bless the USA 🇺🇸 gif
