For those of us standing our ground here, you're right in that every one of these demo-communist vermin bigwigs have to GO. These slimy politicians evolved over the years, and it will take who knows how long to be rid of them. It is generational welfare that is bringing Chicago down to its knees in debt and corruption, on the backs of the tax-paying, law-abiding citizens. Welfare will have to go cold turkey...new restrictions and laws need to be applied and enforced. The rat's nest that is City Hall and the State Senate must be fumigated, and the scumbags removed. And if the general welfare moochers, the gangbangers, the store front revruns and others, who benefit from corruption and greed, object and promise riots and chaos, let them bring it on....and the Chicago Police Department's hands must be freed to carry out arrests, etc. And, or course, the unions must stop electing demo-commies as leaders in their unions. And they must stop voting demo-communist for the hacks that the commies run for office.
No time like the present to initiate this war on all that ails Illinois. Corruption in Chicago started long before Capone. Conservatives/republicans must start grooming viable candidates who have the fire in their bellies to fight this fight. And we must support them with our donations and our votes. Join forces with like-minded people and organizations and strategize a plan of action.
It begins with one step. Let Wisconsin's example be our guide...they have the guts and the will to do the right thing...hey, Illinois, what's our excuse?
I hope the state does turn around. I’ve lived here all my life except for about a year and a half when I lived in Colorado (which is where I’m moving back to) and I do have a love for it. I just can’t stand watching what’s happening.
All those things you said are correct. BUT it seems an Herculean task.
The welfare state simply MUST end in Illinois and indeed in the nation. THAT is what is breaking the back of the economy. It is just not sustainable.
