The people of Illinois deserve exactly what they voted for.

Yeah, that's like saying the entire country deserves Obama.

Fact is, Pat Quinn won only two counties in Illinois to become Governor. The remaining 98 voted for Bill Brady.

Hardly seems fair that those of us who live in those 98 counties have to suffer the incompetent wrath of the dummies in the two counties Quinn won.

She was beautiful but a real pig. I wouldn’t have texted her with your BlackBerry, if you know what I mean.

now that everyone’s house is devalued, it becomes increasingly impossible to sell and move, for many people can’t afford the “hit” they’ll take in this market. This makes them a “captive audience” for state legislatures who can now tax all that income in bold creative new ways without fear of the tax base moving away.

I’ve been trying to get my in-laws to move out for years, they just will not budge. Notice also that the corporate tax rate goes from 4.8 to 8.4%. Since corporations pass tax increases along to their customers as a business expense, that means that the effective personal tax increase will be much higher than just 75%.

That’s the higest rate yes, but it’s been that way for a while. It’s a terrible shock to increase the rate by 75% and double the corporate tax rate.
