#1 Aesop (also spelled Æsop or Esop, from the Greek ΑἴσωποςAisōpos) (ca. 620-564 BC), known for the genre of fables ascribed to him, was by tradition born a slave (δούλος) and was a contemporary of Croesus and Solon in the mid-sixth century BC in ancient Greece.

The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs is one of many fables attributed to Aesop.

Twenty-five hundred years and supposed intelligent and educated people still haven't grasp fundamentals of human behavior. I know, we so smart and 'modern', we are exempted from the consequences. Right.

But if it can be undone in NJ, maybe it could be undone everywhere.

#3 #2 It can't be undone. You can't take the trough away while the hogs are feeding.

However, you can kill the hogs and ship them off to market.

#5 I remember looking up Business Taxes last year.
The (5)WORST States in order are: 1)NJ; 2)NY; 3)Cal; 4) Ohio; 5) R/I..

The Chart ranks each State overall; Corp tax; Ind I/C Tax; Sales Tax; Unemploy Ins Tax; and finally Property Tax Rank.

Where does your State stand?? LINK

#6 Those who left also tended to be better educated, more entrepreneurial and more professional.

Speak for yourself. I'm fat, half drunk, and lazy but I managed to figure it out.

#8 Tom-Pa, my current residence is right up there (Iowa) behind your winners, and my old one (Florida) is ranked #5.

Damn, we really gotta get out of here....

I've seen that place around here. I'm not acclimated enough to buy a hero from anyone not named Mario yet I'm afraid.
