I have flown many hours because of the money I've saved in taxes and

with anal NJ laws and regulations.

If you look at those comparison websites, designed to find tha best places to
live, NJ keeps coming up as one of the lowest taxed states, with a high ratio
of quality of services to tax rate.

Interesting. NJ has a 6% sales tax on everything but clothing and a 6.5% income
tax. I'm sure that's low in comparison to some places, but most States are
lower. The license for my baby pickup costs over $75 every year. A driver's
license is more than $25 for 4 years. You will also find that every service
(such as telephone, water, etc.) has a hidden surcharge. The Federal and State
taxes on my phone service cost more than the basic service does. If one were
able to add in the cost of the various kickbacks and other hidden penalties,
you'd see a different picture, though I'd bet NJ would compare very well to the
Chicago area.

Kontiki is also correct about the regulations. You need a permit for just about
anything. The paperwork involved means that someone who moves here from, say,
Tennessee will probably drop a few of their hobbies due to lack of time to get
the necessary licenses.
