I hope every last corporate headquarters leaves Illinois.

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.

CHICAGO is liberal, the rest of ILLINOIS is pretty conservative. Don’t wish a 90% tax on us.

The income tax increase means individuals will pay 4.95 percent instead of 3.75 percent. The corporate rate jumps to 7 percent from 5.25 percent.

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.

“CHICAGO is liberal, the rest of ILLINOIS is pretty conservative.”

True in ALL states actually. A couple of dozen blue counties vs. thousands of red counties nationwide.

The true divide in this country is inner-city urban takers vs. the rest of us, we the makers.

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.

That’s a lower rate than the last two states I’ve lived in. Surely the libs can afford to pay more than that, after all, it’s for the children.

How much of the tax increase is going to indolent democrat voters who don’t have jobs and will not care about the increase?

It is not a matter of wishing. It is a fait accompli.

Like your FReeper brethren in California, you are the dupes of the liberal establishment majority. Absent flight you will never be able to overcome the progressotrash tyrants that take you money and give it undeserving others.
