New Jersey is one of the most heavily-taxed states in America.

Villas - New Jersey is one of the most heavily-taxed states in America. Yet we are broke. Several casinos have closed, but five are still open, sending millions of dollars to the state yet we are still broke. Now they want to raise the tax on gas an obscene amount, and we will still be broke. These politicians think we're a bottomless pit of money. They have to realize that at some point you have to stop spending and taxing before everyone packs up and leaves New Jersey.
