Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
In Illinois you are either part of the scam or getting scammed. Good luck.
The read the article link doesn’t work, but anyone breathing and reading daily wirepoints doesn’t need it to know Illinois is just a swirling toilet that survives with only the people unable to leave.
Fixed the link. Thanks for the head up.
Spot on.
It’s not just that the taxes are high, it’s the value you get for paying those taxes. Poor roads, lousy test scores, high pension debt, and the highest number of government units. Plus, you have to be sharp to count all the hidden taxes they keep passing-streaming taxes, telephone taxes, gas taxes, tollway fees, utility taxes, sales taxes. If residents could really figure out how much these extra taxes cost them, they’d all leave screaming. We did.
Da breathing tax!!
