-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
#1-This year I left Illinois for a lower tax state with much more opportunities for my family.
None of these apply in my downstate utopian area but we did get the new grocery tax and we will pay more for gasoline to help out the Chicago transit system. Please don’t say that some of that gasoline tax will go to local transit systems because we already have plenty of empty busses crisscrossing the county as it is. I am thankful though that we didn’t get Pritzker’s progressive income tax but that just might be a temporary thanks.
More than a few of these supposed “ blessings “ are dubious once you get beneath the surface and some also only impact a limited area. When one considers the big picture in IL for most of us as compared to surrounding states, it really isn’t worth uncorking champagne over.
When I wake up in the morning, it’s the thought that I live in state that grows the most pumpkins that always puts a little jump in my step.
Break out the bubbly, this is the salvation
of Illinois. wrong!
we are so fu__ up that it will so much more
and we need to get rid of so many socialist before we can right the ship.
The taxes will sink us before we can fix this state,
property, gas, sales,utility taxes and many more need to be lowered. Employers welcomed not taxed to death. Years will pass if it can be fixed.
We have a Lamont,Il?
Lemont. Did you make a real point? Or was this something else?
Do people ever proofread what they post? I’ve been seeing this more often. It’s like they use spell check and if everything comes back OK they post it. That’s my point.
Actually, the article itself references Lombard.
I noticed that to. Lamont was in the headline and didn’t say anything about Lemont.
