Leaving Illinois

There is no doubt that Fatboy will be a disaster for Illinois (not that Rauner is any better) and we will be taxed out of our homes. Went by a Fatboy office and in front of the door were stacks and stacks of expensive bottled water. He will have to raise taxes immediately to keep buying his staff expensive water and chocolates.

I’ve always said Rauner should write JB’s tax story for him: “If you’re middle class, can you afford an extra $500/$2,000/$5,000 in taxes on top of what you already spend today? Are you willing to sacrifice your retirement savings to support JB’s notions of grandeur? Are you wiling to be a mouse in a billionaire’s lab experiment?”

I think this is the correct strategy. If Pritz won’t (and he won’t) put forth details of the tax plan, then we should make assumptions about what that would have to be, and put it out there. If we’re wrong, then leave it to Pritz to correct the record.

I’m worse than just a plain old American liar. I am a Rooskie Bot liar. Jumbo Boy’s plan to tax Illinois into prosperity is the best thing that can happen — to IN, WI, MO, MI, FL, AZ, CO and of course Mother Russia.

He’s still going to be elected, and he’s still going to be a disastrous governor. If you aren’t trying to get out now (or at least move to Kenosha or NW Indiana), you should be.

Well, I -am- a liar, but it’s generally about how fat/old my friends look.

Also, I don’t live in Illinois. And certainly wouldn’t move there, given this info. It’s bad enough in NY and CT.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
