Everybody hates New Jersey!
I really can’t figure out this state at all.
If you’ve read any of my previous posts you would see that I’m completely lost on why things are done the way that they are here in New Jersey.
What I mean by this is because of what happened on Saturday. I went to Pennsylvania, with my mother-in-law, to go to Super Wal-Mart. (There are NO Super Wal-Marts in New Jersey! YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE STATE FOR THEM. That’s another issue for another day!) This was my second journey to Pennsylvania since moving here. The problem with going to Pennsylvania, on any of the main roads, is that you have to pay a toll when you enter the state. Nothing wrong with that, right? The only thing that bothers me is that you DON’T pay anything when you come back to New Jersey. (I jokingly say, that Pennsylvania doesn’t charge you for coming in, but New Jersey charges you for leaving.) This applies when you head to New York and Delaware also.
Why do the surrounding states hate New Jersey so much? What did it do to them? It seems to me that more people are willing to pay to leave this state instead of coming in. New Jersey gets a bad rap to start with. (I’m one of those that have a ton of jokes about this state.)
New Jersey isn’t a bad place. Maybe New Jersey should charge non-residents money for coming into the state. If they don’t want us there, then maybe we should do the same to them.
