Bullshit on you. The post-industrial society 'poor' (especially since the LBJ 'Great Society' mandates) certainly have free access to better health care and largess from the state in the form of personal welfare (food, housing, education, etc.) than pre-industrial 'poor'. No comparison.

Georgia has a 6 % corporate tax rate. Texas has a flat 1 % corporate tax rate on revenues over $1M - which is a smoking hot deal.

The US is already split into three countries: Canada, America, and Mexico.

First two years of his office, total spending increased by 21.4 % over Bush's highest levels. And he keeps spending more, not less. Check the CBO. SPENDING. SPENDING IS THE MONEY GOING OUT.

Discretionary spending has increased four-fold since Obama took office. And that is a fact. http://people-press.org/2011/07/28/...reelection-bid/ "The sizeable lead Barack Obama held over a generic Republican opponent in polls conducted earlier this year has vanished as his support...

I think the point is FU to Illinois in terms of where the corporate office (the tax revenue center) is located.

Ummm... Chicago prop firms trade a big percentage of Eurex and Liffe. Lots of Chicago HFT firms trading equities as well. I don't see ECN as being an issue IMO.

Listen to what the jackass Illinois Governor said when Caterpillar threatened to leave Illinois over tax rates: and I quote, from the Chicago Tribune: "Caterpillar's not leaving Illinois. They have well-skilled workers who know how to get the job done. They just signed an agreement with...

Breaking News from the Chicago Tribune: "Our tax situation is untenable," Donohue told Reuters, noting that CME is taxed more heavily than any of its global competitors. The company is talking with at least three states -- Texas, Florida and Tennessee -- about relocating some of its business...

You are certainly correct in that anyone walking into a store to buy something is going to pay state and local sales tax. There is also a federal tax on gasoline. Also, property owners will pay some sort of annual tax on that real estate. You need to keep in mind that the 'working poor'...

From the WSJ: Get Ready for a 70% Marginal Tax Rate Some argue the U.S. economy can bear higher pre-Reagan tax rates. But those rates applied to a much smaller fraction of taxpayers than what we're headed for without spending cuts...
