Atlanta? You kiddin’ me? That city has been ruined; don’t make me publicly post here why.

The ‘burbs around Atlanta? Absolutely.

We sure need jobs here in Florida. Houses devalued by over 50% these past years plus food prices up 25-50% with no cost of living increases. I may have to look for a job. Oh wait-I can’t because I have a disabled hubby to take care of.

Admit it. You're just upset they tore down the pub crawl between West Paces and Pharr.

Illinois CorpTax.....

Under the Democrat-backed tax package, the current 4.8 percent corporate rate would go to 7 percent until 2015, when it would drop to 5.25 percent. And in 2025, it would return to the current 4.8 percent.

Corporations also pay a 2.5 percent tax on income, called the personal property replacement tax, which is collected by the state and flows to local governments. The two rates taken together come to 9.5 percent, the third-highest rate in the U.S., according to the Tax Foundation, a non-partisan Washington-based research grou

Taxes have got to be high because someone needs to pay the sky-high salaries of the corrupt politicians and government employee freeloaders.

Thank you; sometimes I get carried away with my bashing; hence my screen name.

Actually, I’m a big fan of the Midwest, used to live in Madistan, loved visiting Chicago (in the warmer months), and I’m really only impatient with Illinois for Second Amendment reasons.

Thanks for clearing that up. Add in the highest sales tax in the nation and Chicago deserves to rot - even though it's my home town.
