Ties in rather nicely with THEIR plans. Coincidence? That's a definite 'NO"!

Just gonna get LOTS WORSE & SOON thanks to THE DEMOCRATS & RINOs.

Just WHY in hell did we sent thousands of our KIDS to Normandy & order them to run from vomit filled Higgins boats into German machine guns just to GIVE America away to anyone who can find North on a map and walk?

From the Blues Brothers original movie: “I hate Illinois Nazis.” Illinois dems have migrated into socialism...becoming Illinois Nazis.

“We had the Republicans and Democrats coming to the table back and forth on this and so I’m going to sign the budget that we put forward.”

With all this horse trading and back scratching, what plums did the Republicans bring home?

So glad that I no longer reside in IL. It wasn’t real bad in 83, but today, no way. Only reason I even set foot in the state is because we have family there. Trying to talk them into getting out.

Pritzker’s brackets includes where incomes of more than $1 million is 7.95 percent.
That bracket is on the 1st dollar...hence a flat tax.

yeah...that’s will keep them from leaving the state.

If Illinois taxpayers really want to stick it to IL, they ought to refuse to respond to the census.
