It’s so much easier to pick the pockets of the producers than to say “no” to the parasites.

Ill-Annoy is a third-world cesspool of political mis-needs headed by the delusional Governor, Quinnoccio, with the mute King Maker Mikey Madigan pulling the strings for the last few decades, and now the Rahmfather is implanting his ethos need within Springpatch. A prairie fire needs to raze the political landscape (and burn down the Combine, too) and allow the green sprouts of sanity to return. This won’t end well, I am afraid, until sanity returns to Ill-Annoy.

Little more than a year has passed, and Illinois is right back where it started: the state’s unpaid bills now top $9 billion.

Ricky, I'm shocked.... SHOCKED!

you can’t tax your way to a better future.

Only liberals, including liberal republicans, have ever believed that you could. It's really, really stupid thinking............or non thinking.

It amazes me that case studies like this do not lead to voter revolts against dem pols in States like Illinois, California, and others. Sadly, Obama is doing the same thing on a national level.

Poverty is a state of mind, not a lack of funds.

That is why lottery winners almost always lose what they win, and states cannot heal deficits with more taxes.

If the union thugs succeed in that recall vs. Gov Walker in WI, that state within a year will be a carbon copy of IL.
