Why aren’t there any Occupy movements in New Jersey? We have Atlantic City, where a once-great resort and gambling town is shutting down facilities and shedding jobs. We have Camden, once known as the murder capital of the US, and had to be placed under state control. In Trenton, we have Chris Christie, who has assaulted the education system in NJ and stripped it down to the bone. (At this point, I have to confess that I was no fan of Jon Corzine, a Democrat and the man Christie booted from the governor’s office. I believe that Corzine bought… and sold… his office, if you know what I mean.) We have Cumberland County, where I live, where a community once bustling with glass industry has gone dry, with polluted, oil-soaked properties sit and stink up the place and draw no revenues at all. Of course, there is also that dreadful show Jersey Shore, which might have viewers thinking that citizens of NJ, and possibly Italians, are complete idiots. Top it all off with politicians who show off their genitals on the Internet, and clearly don’t prioritize the interests of their constituents. Yes, New Jersey just sucks. Is someone going to do something about it?
Anyone??
