1. Taxes 2. Weather 3. Government 4. Jobs/education

Sounds to me 3 out of 4 reason are directly or indirectly caused by or related to the Illinois goverment. So Illinois government is worse than Illinois weather.

I’d be willing to bet half of the residents of ALL the communist states want to leave.

Count this Illinois resident of 26 years as one of the 47%. Downstate Illinois is very rural and conservative, but Chicago politicians in Springfield have ruined this state.

I am one of the 47 percent. The ONLY reason I don’t leave is I have 5 beautiful Grandkids here. This state is the ugly liberal armpit of the3 nation.

So, Chicago and E. St. Louis are Democriminal strongholds—but why can’t the rest of the state get it together? Is there any chance that Hildebeast can lose there?

“Nearly Half of Illinoisans Want to Leave State”

That would be very detrimental to the political composition of whatever other states they moved into.

It’s almost certain that wherever they move to, they will still be voting democrat, which could turn whatever state they move to, into a “blue state”. It happened to Florida, which used to be a reliable “red state”.

Stay in Illinois. You are not welcome in any other state where you bring the same politics that created the mess you want to leave behind.

According to the poll, 27 percent cited taxes,

...

That probably covers all the people who pay taxes, don’t work for the government, or are on the dole.

As an ex-Illinoisan I completely concur!

I was paying over $6.000 a year for property taxes! Now I am in Michigan and am not paying $1400!

Did you all know that when you go to the store you pay a Tax #1 AND Tax #2!!!

Very similar to Kalifornia, also run by arrogant “progressives”.

A lot of those same people voted to make their state what it is and would start the same process over again wherever they moved.

Don’t come here. You’ll be miserable!

Our rednecks will offend your women, and our dogs will poop on your lawn.

It’s an awful place to live, believe me. Go to California. I hear the weather is wonderful year round.

I heard Syria is nice this time of year. A lot safer too. It’s not run by Democrats.

Hmmm. Wonder how long it will be until Illinois spares no expense to build a wall to keep people from leaving....

Not surprising at all.

I have a brother there who will not leave.

I also have a daughter and her family there.....they might move out.

Property taxes are over $7500 per year. Been looking to move for a while now.
