Did you see the visceral reaction by Crook County voters to the "sugary tax" drink? That blew the lid (no pun intended) off of this state's high taxes ... There were people on TV saying they knew they already paid the highest property taxes and sales taxes in the country, that pushed them right over the edge!There were also democrats who pointed out that Illinois sends about $40 billion more to DC than it receives back. That might be a bit high, but Illinois is among the worst. That's a problem that won't be addressed, but which is ripe for exploitation as that condition worsens.
