为什么新泽西州的地产税如此之高？有人说，因为汽油税很低等等。这是个太复杂的问题，包括公共产业免地产税比例太高, 政府特别能花钱(42%政府用款来源于地产税，远远高于平均其它州平均29%，其它州都有为每个孩子建立特别的fund，用于教育，而新州的 Court’s Abbott decisions 把多数钱都卷走用于很少数的贫困地区的学前班，造成地方政府没钱给自己学校的局面，所以只能增加地产税.这些所谓的Abbott Districts贫困区吸走了60%的资金，给20%的孩子。贫困区孩子每人几乎可以得到$25，000。而其它地区只有其一半都不到)，等等。

也比较一下美国总统和政府高官所居住的马里兰州，中等收入和NJ差不多，但交税比例少了100%之上。到哪做京官都有好处。
