He's very progressive, with other peoples money.

I also had high hopes for Booker when he became Mayor, but for some reason once they're in, things change for the worse.
Essentially some people have to be kept poor in order for this whole thing to work, I agree with you

Unfortunately that’s exactly what politicians like him need to maintain power: a large base of poor, dependent voters.

He did impose the strictest COVID rules for Newark and forced all businesses to close by 10pm well after even Murphy lifted all COVID restrictions. Therefore he is very bad for the small business economy and even a worse dictator than Murphy. Keep this in mind folks. He will also keep the NO GAS cars allowed rule in the future and will also ban gas stoves and continue the ridiculous plastic bag ban that has been a failure. Basically all those idiotic Democrap policies wont change.

If someone like Murphy, this guy or that radical leftist from JC get into office I'm fine with leaving the state. New York recently put itself into the coffin and will be a flyover state, NJ will feel the effects and will become a flyover state too. Bright side I can go somewhere with a better climate, and give myself a substantial raise in not paying all these taxes.

Well there's always going to be more poor people than rich people, lol
So yes, the people that make the laws are always going to be dependent upon the votes of the ones who do not make the laws.

Which is why the poor and unlanded shouldn’t be allowed to vote. On this, the Founders were spot on.

As I always say.

The only motivation driving the poor vote is to take other people’s money. Charity is given, not taken. No country that allows the poor to vote can last forever.

And after voting Democrap for years and years, they are still poor....you'd think they wake up by now. If anything Republicans are better for the poor cause they are all about not forcing people to buy plastic bags, get an EV, convert their house to electric heat, etc.. I always have more money to spend when Republicans are in charge.

You were forced to buy an EV and electric heat?

NJ folks WILL BE in the near future. I guess you haven't been following the news or Democrap policies.

I’m not aware of any policy that says you’re forced to buy an EV
