Yea that will solve the problems.
I hear the Illinois looks wonderful in the rear view mirror!
Testing ground for the rest of the nation...
DEMOCRATS GONE WILD!
They don’t have enough home foreclosures in IL yet. Guess they’re working on the problem.
If they don’t rape the last few taxpayers, how are retiring state workers, legislators and judges supposed to live in luxury in Florida, Costa Rica.... I mean, come on folks, do you expect them to work past age 45? How does that leave enough years for another pension?

Conservative household notes a shortage of money. Action: reduce expenditures.
Liberal household notes a shortage of money. Action: Run for office, get elected, and tax the conservative household.
Here in Michigan, Governor Depressionator is already talking about raiding stimulus money to balance the budget due to a “breathtaking” drop in revenue from tobacco and lottery taxes. We’re talking 200 million under estimates.
Blago was right then, he said they wanted him out so they could raise taxes.
Gibbs will have good news at the Friday White House presser about the un-employed in Illinois.
“Illinois Income Tax May Jump 50 Percent”
I hope so. Things like this might open people eyes to what the libs are doing.
0bama’s Fault!
Meanwhile, the former Cook County Republican chairman gets caught in his kid’s room with two hookers. By his wife. Who beats him with an electric guitar. Did you hear about it?
How much is the sales tax in Illinois these days? When I left there 30 years ago the sales tax was 5%. You all are fast approaching California’s punitive taxation level. Our sales tax has just been raised to 9.25%. Our license fees have just doubled. Nobody yet is talking about the size of increase in our state income tax but I bet it’s a doozy!
My (very) liberal sister was visiting from Chicago (she’s the only enlightened urbanite among us) and I asked her what the parking sticker was for (you know, the kind that college campuses use). For a fee, you could buy a sticker from the city that allowed you to park your car on the street. “Why?” I asked.
sister: “Because the city paid to pave the street and you are using it.”
me: “But aren’t gasoline taxes used for that?”
sister: “Well, yeah, but they have to remove snow, too.”
me: “So you don’t have any problem with paying the city for the privilege of parking on streets that you already paid for paving and clearing of snow?”
sister: “No.”
me: “Okay.”
Expect city income taxes to go up shortly, too. Between Fed, State, and local taxes all taxing the “rich,” small business is going to get killed. The ultimate irony is that both my (very) liberal sister and her husband work for small businesses and their jobs are in the crosshairs. Of course it will be Bush’s fault.

I guess that is their reward for giving us zero.
Hey Gov. Quinn...Michigan increased our income tax rate from 3.9% to 4.35%.
Hey, if you want to beat our 11.6% unemployment rate too, go for it!
Democrat run, Democrat ruined.
Illinois, Taxifornia, Michigan...need I go on?
