Poor Illinois. It's taken over the mantle as the state that everyone thinks is the most screwed.
Faced with a monster budget gap, the state Senate just passed a monster 66% hike in the state income tax.
The news has governors or other states gleeful.
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels said today that the tax hike was good for... Indiana
And during his State of the State address, New Jersey governor Chris Christie held up Illinois as a state that was going in the wrong direction.
Chicago readers, any plans to move?

Michigan must be feeling a little like Jimmuh Carter. No longer the worst of the worst.
(remember these are dimocRATS working)
Yup. And I can see the city lights of all of these on a
good night.
DSA Arms is in IL too and they make fine FAL-FN .308 clones.
I would not know because I lost my guns and ammo in a boating accident.
I always wondered why those companies were in a ****hole like IL. I had to go to a suburb of Chicago and saw all these tool and die machinery companies. Based on the names probably a lot of German extraction tool and die guys up there.

Here in Indiana it’s FIA and FIP.
You mean "days", right?
There is no such thing as a free lunch or an “Obama Stash”!!! Again, there is no such thing as a free lunch or an “Obama Stash”!!! By the way, folks in “Obamaland”, how’s that “Obama Hope, Change & Prosperity” doing for ya??? You have gotten what you voted for, so please, we do not want to hear your complaints!!!
Madigan was NOT going to let a Republican win the governor’s race. Quinn is a seat-warmer for Madigan’s daughter Lisa. Hey—they were threatening alot bigger tax increase, 66% is doing us a favor. /s
Would love to leave the state when we retire, but our kids and grandkids are here.....
Yes. From Washington a state w/o an Income Tax.
Bummer.
The "gimme" class will stay right where they are in Chicago. Missouri, Kentucky and Iowa also share a border with Illinois, Michigan too for that matter but we don't need to go there. I'm looking in Missouri.
Oh, there's plenty of room out in West Texas for Yankees.
Last I looked, the population of Deaf Smith County was one (1).
Daniels compares Ill. government to ‘The Simpsons’

From 3% to 5.25% is a 75% increase, not 66%.
Y’all fergot the fahr aintz...........they’re bigguns’ down here.
Watch the exodus, as they go to other states make them sign a balanced budget ammendment pledge and decry they are not due government assistance...
From here:
Under the current version of the bill, the individual income-tax rate would jump to 5%, from the current 3%, a 67% increase. That is more conservative than last week's proposed 5.25% rate, a 75% increase. Also, the corporate tax rate would increase to 7%, from the current 4.8%.
Hmmmm....a new movie...”Escape from Illinois”?
Instead of Kurt Russell...who?
I nominate Blago for the role. Hell he’s a natural!
Starring obaamma mamba Jamma Lenin Khomeini as the failed states community organizer..one line Blame Whitey!!!
