And you can also bet that most of the 10,000 leaving are NOT welfare leeches and criminals - the kind of people you WANT to leave the state.
Instead, they’re hard-working taxpayers, business owners, and entrepreneurs - the kind of people that HELP an economy get robust.
So the good people are leaving and the bad ones stay behind - way to go, Illinois. Idiocy in action.
Agreed.
There was an article recently which said that the black population of Chicago had declined about 10% just since the 2010 census.
And that many of those blacks were leaving Illinois, not leaving Chicago for suburban areas, but leaving Illinois altogether.
But these are also the most productive group of black residents leaving. Which sad to say, means that there is a greater concentration in the remaining black community of the gang bangers and other assorted anti-social types.
I am making preparations to leave my blue state. Already purchased the future home. Goodbye lefties. See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya.
