I hope every last billionaire and millionaire leaves Illinois.
Chicago mob politics, allied with the nutjob Left, has driven that state into the ground.
Wonder how long until Illinois wants to raise taxes again because many big businesses have left the state? They will leave. They have moved out in droves from Cali.
Works for me. A bunch of liberals and they can tax all of their people at 90% for all I care.

Sounds like Boeing brought some wake turbulence with them from Seattle.
Debt? We don't have no stink'n debt! Just turn those Fed. machines back on! Free sh#t for everyone! Corruption Rulz! Rationality is for foolz!
That whooshing sound you hear is businesses rushing to leave the state. Couple that with Rahm Emanuel's new plan that won't let Chicago high school student graduate without a gov't-approved "plan", and I think that whoosh is going to be deafening.
“Public universities, cut to the bone...”
Lolololol! Pull the other one.
Too lazy to cut wasteful spending. Such crime on the taxpayers’ dime.
Ah, the Jerry Brown solution. Tax them until they die off or leave.
This is like the ending of Lambchops: This is the song that never ends...
If they would just legalize their thug economy they’d have a surplus.
Illinois’ total debt: 155 billion.

Democrats destroy everything they touch.
How much of the tax increase is going to indolent democrat voters who don’t have jobs and will not care about the increase?
At least there’s no sales tax on food.
They had a choice of tightening the belt or tightening the noose......they chose the noose.
STAMPEDE!!!
As I often say, I’m a Republican because A) it’s the home of anyone who believes in 2A, first and foremost, and B) I believe in fiscal sanity. And there is approximately =zero= fiscal sanity left in the Democrat party. It is all too rare in the Republican party, but it does exist.
Illinois currently stands as strong evidence for my B) position. This ongoing slow motion train wreck will continue for years. Not giving these guys a bailout, which they will be asking for soon, is a strong reason to work hard to maintain Republican control of the Presidency and Congress.
