When IL decided to tax itself into misery, I thought Boeing might regret its choice of HQ, but then I remembered Obama...
IL would not have been my first choice if taxes were a consideration, even before they raised them.
Egos have gotten so fragile in the executive suite that they demand a “world class” city for their edification and entertainment. Such cities are nearly all under leftist control. I still recall F. Ross Johnson rolling into town here and ripping RJR-Nabisco up by the roots because his wife thought Winston-Salem was too bucolic. That, after building the most ridiculous Disney-esque mansion on one of the best, old streets in the best part of town. It still looks like an overblown gift shop in some tourist trap town, imho. Seashells embedded in the stucco, all sorts of frippery and kitkat. No accounting for taste, I guess, no matter what the wherewithal.
