Unapologetic New Jersey

I am not bashing Governor Christie because New Jersey is almost in a state of disrepair and he inherited this problem. I also have to say SHAME on these RICH people hiding their money and can afford their tax brackets. It just hurts to know that the poorer class is actually funding this country. You don't donate to American charities must less locally.

New Jersey has the highest property tax in the nation. One of the highest Costs of living in the Country. Our plates may say the "GARDEN STATE", in reality they should say "CORRUPTION STATE". No matter how many years go by, the Mob is still running New Jersey.


The question is:....

How can we fix it? 

Answer: Let's clear out ALL the slackers. Let the "young" people come to work and be productive. We live in a state that is very dense. It's 9 million of us. We can have educated bodies in the jobs.



I was reading in the paper in regards to New Jersey's budget short fall. Until this article came out, I was unsure where Governor Chris Christie was going to TAKE the MONEY from to balance the budget.

I have to say I was a little surprised that he was taking 2.43 Billion dollars over 2 years from Public Service workers pension funding.  Much as I hate the incompetent protected Public Service employees, I felt bad. On a brighter note, he chose not to take funding from our struggling schools and Medicaid. They could have easily took the money from Medicaid due to New Jersey's choice to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. However, in 2 years or upon expiration of the federal funding through ACA, we would have to then fully fund our Medicaid. 

I have to say, it is so much going on in New Jersey. State office workers are very incompetent and really useless. I wish there was a way to actually stop holding onto "obliged payroll personnel." They cost us so much money and government can care less. 

New Jersey is currently paying transitional aid to Trenton which some of you know about. They should be giving the money to us regardless of a transitional agreement due to the overwhelming numbers of immigrants and illegals we have in Trenton.  We should be getting that monetary amount without a clause. While we are receiving this "transitional aid", the state has full control over ALL hiring and firings. 

I just think that it is really sad because NEW JERSEY is keeping us down. Our acting mayor has been going through and finding out who is competent and who is not. He is forced to have these people on payroll. This include Appointed offices that have technically expired in February when the Federal judge threw Tony Mack out of office. 

One thing I have Learned:  

There are No politics like in TRENTON and no BIGGER CIRCUS than TRENTON!

I don't know about the rest of Trenton or even New Jersey for that matter, but I will be displaying an upside-down flag for distress.

My Top 10 Forbes Thoughts on Youth

1. If a society is to preserve stability and a degree of continuity, it must know how to keep its adolescents from imposing their tastes, attitudes, values and fantasies on everyday life.  --Eric Hoffer
2. You can be young without money but you can’t be old without it.  --Aristotle  
3. Youth is young life plus curiosity minus understanding.  --Anthony Brooks
4. Youth has the resilience to absorb disaster and weave it into the pattern of its life, no mater how anguishing the thorn that penetrates its flesh.  --Sholem Asch
5. I would not waste the springtime of my youth in idle dalliance; I would plant rich seeds to blossom in my manhood, and bear fruit when I am old.  --Richard Hillhouse
6. Youth is a circumstance you can’t do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old.  --Frank Lloyd Wright
7. You are only young once, but you can be immature forever.  --John P. Grier
8. The destiny of any nation, at any given time, depends on the opinions of its young men under five-and-twenty.  --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
9. Youth is young life plus curiosity minus understanding.  --Anthony Brooks
10. Tell me how a young man spends his evenings and I will tell you how far he is likely to go in the world. The popular notion is that a youth’s progress depends upon how he acts during his working hours. It doesn't. It depends far more upon how he utilizes his leisure.... If he spends it in harmless idleness, he is likely to be kept on the payroll, but that will be about all. If he diligently utilizes his own time ... to fit himself for more responsible duties, then the greater responsibilities-and greater rewards-are almost certain to come to him.  --B.C. Forbes

My Top 10 Forbes Thoughts on Ability

1. They are able because they think they are able. -- Virgil
2. Ability is a poor man’s wealth.--Matthew Wren
3. The fine points that are uncovered in our work as a result of close study, diligent care, constant application and always trying to improve our methods represent the best and most valuable knowledge we get in business-and the sum total of that attentive attitude is what we call skill. -- Roderick Steven
4. Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.  --Publilius Syrus 
5. Forget yourself in your work. If your employer sees that you are more concerned about your own interests than about his, that you are fussy about getting credit of every little or big thing you do, then you are apt to be passed by when a responsible job has to be filled.... Don’t worry about how big an increase in your salary you can contrive to get. Don’t let your mind dwell on money at all, if you can help it. Throw yourself, body, soul, and spirit, into whatever you are doing.... The truth is that in every organization, no matter how large or how small, someone is taking notice of any employee who shows special ability. --Harry B. Thaye  
6. Ability is useless unless it’s used.--Robert Half
7. Abilities wither under faultfinding, blossom under encouragement.--Donald A. Laird
8. Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.  --Cicero
9. A man with ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything.  --Donald Kirche
10. Ability wins us the esteem of the true men; luck that of the people.  --François de La Rochefoucauld

15 Great Aristotle Quotes

1. “No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness” 
2. “Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.” 
3. “It is absurd to hold that a man should be ashamed of an inability to defend himself with his limbs, but not ashamed of an inability to defend himself with speech and reason; for the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.”
4. “In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.” 
5. "Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within every body's power and is not easy." 
6. “Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.” 
7. “Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. ” 
8. "The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead."
9. “He is his own best friend and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.” 
10. "Are wisdom and philosophy the same thing? Surely not! For philosophy has to do with things that can be demonstrated and are eternally the same, but wisdom has not to do with these, but with things that undergo change." 
11. “Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”
12. "At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice, he is the worst." 
13. “I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self.”
14. "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
15. "For pleasure is a state of soul, and to each man that which he is said to be a lover of is pleasant.... Now for most men their pleasures are in conflict with one another because these are not by nature pleasant, but the lovers of what is noble find pleasant the things that are by nature pleasant; and virtuous actions are such... Happiness then is the best, noblest, and most pleasant thing in the world, and these attributes are not severed as in the inscription at Delos: Most noble is that which is justest, and best is health; but pleasantest is it to win what we love."

Trenton Election Results

May 13, 2014 was Trenton's Mayoral race.

There was only a 26% turnout at the polls. That is very DISGRACEFUL. I feel that as concerned citizens we should have a higher turnout. Especially 90% of the city has raised complaint about public safety. I don't understand how change can be received when you are not a willing participant.

The 6 candidates were:

• Walker Worthy  (my candidate) 
• Eric Jackson
• Paul Perez
• Oliver "Bucky" Leggett
• Jim Golden
• Kathy McBride
