IL state income taxes to go up 75%?!?!?!?!?!

Illinois will now have the highest combined local/state/federal combined corporate tax in the developed world if this passes.
 
Quote from Ticktaker:

hhhhhhmmmmmm, this is ludicrous. Take a look at Florida. No income tax policy, lower sales tax at city and county levels, and the state sees revenue growth.

I was born, raised, and currently live in Chicago, and can honestly say I'm considering a move.

it's all great in FL and housing dirt cheap right now...but there is one little problem-no job for you and me. i hope you know the joke -don't mix tourism and immigration...

the florida is a decent state for a trader..healthy,young and profitable one...
move to panama..same shit,even cheaper living+no taxes at all.

You know the tax increase wouldn't bother me that much if city bus drivers with a high school education weren't making 70k a year. Honestly I don't know what's going to stop IL from having to go up to 10% to 12% like CA and NY. If that happens, Chicago will be a ghost town and condo prices will plummet 80%. The democrat machine in Chicago is alive and well.

I sold a home in '06 before the price crash and have been a renter since. The problem is, when I sold that home, I did not have a family. Now, I do have a family, but am afraid if I "park" somewhere the property taxes and income taxes will make me a hostage to the powers that pull strings in government.

What's the solution? Moving to Indiana or Wisconsin? Or declaring residence in Texas or Florida somehow? And how is that maintainable? The government scrutinizes these residency games more now.

Every day this week on my way home from work there have been 4 city workers directing traffic at a single intersection that already has a light!

Agreed on needing a fiscal conservative in office … to bad it will never happen when we need it most

Do these people actually improve the flow of traffic? At all? I ask this to Chicagoans and they just sort of shrug it off.
 
Texas is the best State in the Union!! Come on down, ya'll!!!

Wow...slow your roll son! Texas is a great state but also has some ass backwards idiots and scum. So, lets not invite the whole damn state of IL.

Please, all those capitalist, freedom loving, and educated people come on down.

The rest of you liberal, progressive, scumbag, broke ass fools, freeloaders, "Gobment owe's me" thinking, from the land of Abe Lincon....stay your ass in Chicago.
 
Absolutely not, they are a safety hazard and usually incredibly rude. It is fake work created for certain, shall we say, "constituencies".

Mav, sorry to hear this. And a city bus driver making 70k??? Wow! I live in the south, and the city bus drivers here are in the 35-45k range, depending on time is service.

The thing that kills me about the blue states is the fact that they tee totally refuse to look at history, and what taxing business to death really does...

I have one for you that may aleviate some of the pain for a minute or two:

"A man was walking along the beach, picked up a lantern, rubbed it, and you guessed it, out pops the genie."

She tells him he can have one wish.

He tells her he wants to live forever.

Genie: "that's one wish I cannot grant.I'm not allowed."

Him: "ok. I want to live long enough to see the democrats pull their heads out of their asses."

Genie: "you crafty bastard you!"

Lol!! :)
 
Personally imho the southwest USA is the best to place overall if you ask me.

1. weather
2. taxes
3. property taxes
4. how far the dollar goes for living expenses
5. outdoor activities
6. gorgeous women (Las Vegas and Scottsdale AZ are top notch)
7. friendly people
8. cheap enough living where you can visit NYC or SD all the time
9. plenty of great places to eat, shop, resorts


my parents moved from Chicago not to long to Dallas,Texas about 5 years after my father retired. They have never been happier.
 
Hmmm...Has anyone else figured out that our various governments (fed, state, local) are out of control?

King George was a wimp compared to the thugs we have in control during these times.
