Corzine's donors
After a review of Corzine's donors, I can literally count on one hand the number of large donors from NJ: 5. Excluding Corzine himself, 5 New Jerseyans (including a husband & wife couple) donated enough to be reported. The rest of the money came from NY, CA, and FL largely. Telling sign that Corzine's own constituents won't donate big money to him, largely because he's taxed most of them out of the state.
That is disgusting
Corzine's list of donors is embarrassing.
I really wish someone can take that list to every working class family struggling to pay their bills and show them the dozens on Millionaires - FROM OTHER STATES!!! - that are giving to Corzine.
Those millionaire buddies of Corzine's do not have to live with the policies of Corzine so they obviously have no problem contributing the Hamptons neighbor. Have them move to this state and its oppressive tax policies and then see how much the give.
Corzine has got to go.
