Leading the way...to being broke

Leading the way but not to something good.

A recent study for 2005 has revealed that six of the top ten counties in the nation (yes, the nation) with the highest property taxes are in New Jersey.

Hunterdon, Bergen, and Essex are in the top five. Morris, Somerset and Union are 7th, 8th and 10th.

I feel better. My county, Monmouth, is all the way down at 13th. Woo hoo.

Meanwhile, neither Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida nor Arizona have a single county in the top fifty.

Can there really be any wonder why there is an exodus from N.J. to these states?
