There once was a girl from Nantucket that did not have a very big bucket. Her pocketbook was empty and her tummy was full of goo. And she went boo hoo.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, wait a minute I am supposed to be writing a blog about a New Jersey topic. So below is a poem that I hope will not cause you to moan on why your vote is not a joke.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something for the NJEA and nothing for us\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that we voted with our feet, we face a tax hike without a retreat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Something for everyone that filled their war chest and nothing for us who didn\u2019t do our best to vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t this just something that is fantastic, not very democratic!<\/span><\/p>\n

What will we do when the taxes are so high that we can not see the sky?<\/span><\/p>\n

For with all the tax bills piled end on end blotting out the sun that sure will not be fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

What did we do that was so wrong? That now all we long for is to leave the state without a debate.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something for the NJEA and nothing for us\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will NJEA be the political boss over us and will we gloss over the tax truths that will are the fools.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who are the fools? Those that voted or those who thought that their vote was demoted?<\/span><\/p>\n

Where have we gone wrong and why is the NJEA saying we are all wrong?<\/span><\/p>\n

We gave them are all and that is not enough. When will we become tough and say no more taxes for us!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something for the NJEA and nothing for us\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hopefully someone will tell the last person to leave New Jersey that we all left in glee and that we flee so we can be tax free!<\/span><\/p>\n

The NJEA will be by itself and there will be no one to put on a shelf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then all will see that we have left because there will be no one on the right or the left who will admit the theft of our money.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So with a heavy heart and an empty wallet, we all will have fled to somewhere where the people are fed.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end we have no one to blame, but ourselves. And that ain\u2019t no game!<\/span><\/p>\n

I just hope you don\u2019t think that this rhyme is some game because it has no name.<\/span><\/p>\n

For it does and it is called blame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blame everyone else, but not ourselves. For will didn\u2019t vote and that is no joke!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seriously less than twenty percent of New Jersey voters came out and voted this November<\/a>. Now because NJEA candidates were elected they hold the upper hand. You who did not vote have no one to blame but yourselves for what is about to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is my opinion- Jumpin Jersey Mike<\/span><\/p>\n
