Raritan Twp Sends House Lien Letters For Payment

NJ contractors and sole proprietors will ultimately be hit the hardest

The tipping point of America has arrived, and the United States is once again under attack from a pandemic and many people are living in panic mode. Other people are staying cool and calm just as they did during WWII.

The world is on its way to face off with another terrible enemy the likes of which we have not encountered since the swine flu pandemic in 2009, which caused over 60 million illnesses and over a quarter of a million hospitalized. The U.S. government had a front and center seat to the H1N1 influenza virus that affected over 60 million people, so we have seen this before.
Since time immemorial, the world has fought off some sort of influenza, or bird or pig flu. The Corona virus 2020 could echo the Spanish Flu of 1919, over a century ago and that could be a game changer for America.

As our government is in a panic mode, the two sides can't put their political agenda aside as Americans watch the collateral damage now affecting them. Being indifferent in politics – lets face it – very little trickles down to New Jersey regardless of who holds office.
New Jerseyans have always been the last on the government's list and first to pay the state. Be careful of the wolf in sheep's clothing that offers gifts. With supposed bailouts coming to (almost) all Americans, one must question whether or not the working families in NJ will receive a siphon check. State emergency measures have forced closures of certain industries, many who may not survive the next month.

What about the sole proprietors and contractors that keep NJ moving. That can't work so their income is zero, and the so-called free money will likely not arrive in their mailboxes on time.

On the adage that one cant fail because it would bring down the economy, we are here now so that shouldn't matter. But the politicians somewhere down the line are beholden to big business and will always be on line first. With warehouses filled to the ceiling with food essentials and grocery stores getting replenished daily, gas reserves have already satisfied the financial expense, the adverse stock market must be questioned .
It's no secret NJ is under a democratic regime and believes everything is free and everyone deserves it. We the people know that can't happen because someone would ultimately have to foot the bill.

Now we the people of NJ need the hand-up to survive but guess what? We already gave it out. Anything this state makes you grovel for now, we will be obligated to pay back 50 times over in taxes and inflation.

In Western NJ food banks are MIA , and most of you wouldn't qualify anyway. In Hunterdon County NJ, a local TD bank is making customers order cash a day ahead of time to be picked up the next day. America's most convenient bank is short on cash. 7-11 is selling face masks at a questionable price of 15.00 .

In the same county, Raritan Township Municipal Utilities Authority last week wasted no time in sending out unsettling letters from tax collectors informing homeowners who are late on payments that they will be conducting tax sales on property at their discretion for as little as $300.00 owed. Lets face it , it is cash time and cash is king. The municipality wants the money now because there might not be any tomorrow. If any area of NJ needs some political house cleaning its Hunterdon County NJ.
