There is definitely a complacency in Illinois toward political corruption. It appears to be accepted as a way of life that I'd rather have my corrupt politician in office than for you to have your corrupt politician in office. Businesses continue to leave the state as the morons in Springfield raise taxes and feign bewilderment that anyone would want to leave. The smart ones leave because the dumb ones are too dumb to leave. Dumbness becomes concentrated. Under these circumstances, it makes sense for the people of Illinois to vote for the welfare king that will take from others to give to Illinois.
I gotta get outta this place, if its the last thing I ever do ...
