Unfortunately your scenario would hit the wall of economic power. Chicago’s economy dominates the state and region.

And there is the irony that the Blue States pay the majority of federal taxes and export that money to the Red states. It could succeed as an independent city-state but the rest of the state would go to hell in a handbasket and their economies bankrupted.

BTAIM, the article should not speak of the Governor in a race to the bottom. He is like the Little Dutch Boy with his finger in the dike. If he folds a new wave of taxes will flood the state and not a penny will be cut.

That’s actually an LSM lie based on some playing with the stats. For example, Texas is about 35th in revenue from the FedGov, but if you play with the numbers (not that hard to do and most people can’t spot the games), we show up as number 4 or so.
