Yes. Yes, you are. You are getting the comforting feeling that they don?t live near you. Stop being so obtuse. You don?t buy into your area because you want to live near poverty. People buy into luxury condos, paying high maintenance fees and taxes because they want their neighbors to be the people that can afford the same. Let?s drop those taxes in Short Hills to $3k/year. You can enjoy those large houses getting turned into multi-family units for the Campbells of the world to shoot up your local Walgreens. Quote:

Maybe society needs to bite the bullet and consider boarding schools or having JC pay successful school systems to educate its poor performers. One or two school buses to Millburn, Summit, etc. would be a good test. The cost of transportation would probably be offset by the lower cost of educating students in better systems. The notion of parental rights trumping sociatal needs is one that needs rethinking, IMEO.

Do you ever say to yourself, ?is it possible to sound more like a broken record?? I think if you are going to continue going to the well regarding JC getting tax money, you should at least liven it up a little. It?s just so freaking boring now. Quote:

My favorite part of this thread is the notion that a capital gain has already been taxed.

Your premise is stupid. Millburn/Short Hills isn't ignoring other kids, we're paying for their education. JC gets a half billion a year. Newark, just shy of a billion. Who do you think is paying for that? Each and every year we pay it.

Monroe - You miss the point of taxes buddy. Why should I as a taxpayer in JC, care about the hellspawn, sperm-donor, wastes of time and space, kids in the public ed system in JC? I don't have kids. I personally pay a heck more in local, state and federal taxes that I can ever hope to get back... But I realize a few things. The US is never going to dig itself out of the hole it's created without sorting out it's education system. And that doesn't mean the middle-to-upper class twits in Short Hills/Milburn funding it's own local schools and ignoring the 99.9% of kids elsewhere. I'm a product of a free education system. I believe every single kid in the US deserves that same opportunity. And seriously dude, FUCK YOU if you believe differently.

Brewster, it seems you want to continue to receive the largesse of others. Millburn/Short Hills residents pay what is needed to run their town.
And they pay to support JC. I'm entitled to an opinion on how JC spends my money. (What's the JC graduation rate??) 66 per cent?

What a twisted way of looking at taxes. No wonder you can justify millionaires paying lower tax rates than their secretaries. And Millburn has gold plated schools while JC has a rundown system. Your answer presumably would be for JC to be on it's own, raise it's taxes to 6 or 8% and drive out anyone who can possibly sell their property at whatever price? Good plan. Quote:

Nonsense. It's not the tax 'rate' that is the point. A community has a budget, and they apportion that budget to homeowners based on the value of their homes. If you look at it, JC residents pay about 100 million dollars toward their schools. JC is the second largest city in NJ. Millburn pays about 75 millions dollars for their schools, in a town with a population of about 20,000! Enjoy your low taxes on the backs of others. And capital gains are investments that have been already taxed as the earned income that created them. But go ahead and ask JC homeowners if they want their mortgage deduction removed-I'll bet your neighbors will want to give you a black eye!

Are you being serious? Easily the most naive sentiment I've seen all week. You can only rise to the top of politics unless you have "sold out," unless you are independently wealthy. It takes an immense amount of money to get elected. Do you think those big time donors treat it like charity and don't expect anything in return?

2013 General Tax Rates (actual rates, not rates on assessments)
MILLBURN 1.836% JERSEY CITY 2.406% http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/lpt/taxrate.shtml Monroe, your constant tax whining is a pile of crap. JC pays a FAR higher tax rate than Millburn, 31% more. The rate is what matters, not the fact that you're paying more, that's because the average home is worth more than a million. How can you justify how a person who lives on the gains of investments alone should pay no tax on it while a person who labors for their living pays? Capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as earned income. I can at least understand the argument that dividends have already been taxed as corporate income.

Yes, Obama is in his second term, and we know how he controls the IRS. Much more time is spent on trying to silence conservative voices than reforming the tax laws. While real unemployment is out of control, Wall Street is hitting new highs under his watch-the left is very silent on that while talking about income inequality.

A 40% increase is large percentage wise, but given that other NJ taxpayers pay 3/4 of the cost of JC schools currently, in real terms it's probably pretty small-JC taxpayers pay only 16% of the cost of running JC schools, other NJ residents and the Federal taxpayers (for the 53% that pay Federal taxes, that is) pay the rest. http://www.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/educat ... dist_code2390&maxhits=650

I have no idea what you are saying. Let me repeat, the state pays the lionshare of taxes but taxes have increased 40% since 2005. Anyone who pays school taxes are paying for people who uses the system but don't pay; therefore, the average person who pays school taxes are paying a higher amount. By the way my, children went to Catholic schools so the state and local taxpayers did not pay for my children.

Er, capital gains taxes are taxes on top of money that has already been earned and taxed-frankly, they should be zero. Carried interest/hedge fund income to managers should absolutely be taxed as income, I can't believe we haven't addressed that. Mortgage interest deductions is the third rail of liberals, they want to tax everyone 'fairly' but mention taking that away from them and they screw themselves into the ground trying to defend it.

Property taxes are what they are, based on the way federal, state and local taxes have evolved over the years - not what you nor I wish them to be. Comparing Short Hills to JC, the relative tax-burden state-wide seems fair on a property-value basis - nobody believes property tax is simply a "use" tax in NJ. The only way to change this as an individual seems to be to vote with your feet, and move to a state that distributes its tax burdens differently.

The state does pay the lionshare of school costs, but since 2005, taxpayers have seen an 40% increase in school taxes. At least in the suburbs everyone pays, close to one third is tax abated so those who pay is paying for those who do not pay.

Real estate taxes are based on the cost of running the town, not an income tax related to the value of your house or your income. Hence, the fact that JC gets a half billion dollar/year subsidy, year in and year out, covering 75% of the cost of running JC schools has a direct impact on M/SH getting 11% from NJ.
