If I lived in IL I would move, simple as that. I don't see why all these people who live in such states stay where they are. If I lived in NY or CA I would move.

It almost surprises me to see that there is no mass exodus from these liberal bastians to other more reasonable states.

Why do some of you guys stay where you are and take it?

...high taxes, out of control institutional liberalism, and gun control just to name a few. How do you guys live with it?

From 1980-1990, 250,000 whites left Cook County, mostly people who became retirees. I assume most of these persons rode out their jobs until retirement and left Illinois. I was one.

Middle aged men ride out their jobs until retirement. The financial implications are just too great to do otherwise.

There are exoduses, as reflected in the most recent census. The Southern and western states grew, the rust belt got rustier.

Illinois is in bad shape, their industrial and business base shrinking with every year. It pretty much completely socialist, and will be for a long time. The GOP is in shambles.

When you have a RINO like Judy Barr Topinka in charge, you're is sad shape.

In my case, I am stuck here. I take care of my Mother, and she wants to stay near Dad's grave.

As soon as Mother joins Dad . . . I am Outtahere!

Gotta make a stand sometime, somewhere. IL is it for now.
