Most corrupt state.
How does my procrastination entitle them to my assets?
"the state projected it could have seized $79 million in revenue"
Well, yes, theft is an easy way to increase one's revenue.
What next, seizing automobiles from people who don't drive them for a month?

Most retailers these days don't have expiration dates on their gift cards, a blessing to consumers who are slow to spend their credit. But soon New Jersey residents won't have that luxury. A law passed in 2010 will go into effect this year and allow the state's Department of Treasury to take the money from gift cards, travelers' checks, and money orders that haven't been used up within two years of purchase. American Express has already pulled gift card sales from the state.
According to NJ.com, the state projected it could have seized $79 million in revenue in 2011 from the law, but they needed to collect buyer ZIP codes to enforce the law, and that lead to lawsuits and a suspension of ZIP code collection. Treasury spokesman Andy Pratt said, "We're working with industry groups to determine the best way to have merchants collect ZIP codes. We're not requiring it until we come up with a policy that is uniform and as least onerous as possible." Does this gift card idea sound like a good way to generate revenue -- or a just a slimy way for the government to take some cash?

But what regularly happens especially with liberal/progressives is, they dismiss honorability and convince the ignorant (government run school educated) masses that there is a 'free lunch' and point at some group: whites, rich, male, business owners, or what have you, and tells the people that those people are what is preventing him/her (the politician) from providing their free lunch, and then get reelected and then continue to fleece all of their constituents under the guise of fairness!
And yes, I blame the Democrats for this and just about everything that is wrong in the country! They care nothing for the people! The only motivation for the Democrat Party is to assume and maintain political power by what ever means available, legal or not, just or not, and once attaining that power to use it to increase the wealth of the Democrat elite at the expense of the common people!
The Democrats have done nothing to better the lives of the people in the past 30 years or so. They consistently withdraw more and more of the people’s freedom, and they do it with a vengeance!
