Not along ago, Chicago and Illinois were a wonderful destination for anyone looking for a job or starting a business.
That was then.....this is now!
The Chicago Tribune has an amazing editorial about their home state:
"Today, though, we are losing employers.
Nearly half a million of our jobs are gone.
We export many of our educated young people to futures out of state."
It goes on to show that Illinois has become another corrupt Dem state at the mercy of public unions:
"We need to lower costs. Our governance infrastructure has become overgrown and overpriced.
We have 7,000 often redundant governments, far more than any other state.
We populate those governments with armies of employees, and give them duties — some essential, some make-work.
Many politicians of both parties enlist these workers as their allies in a cozy paradigm: If you help us win re-election, we will reward you with adequate salaries today — and fabulous retirement benefits tomorrow."
Can we say that Illinois is about to become California or Michigan? Yes we can!
The editorial calls for change we can believe in, such as lower taxes and a more pro-business atmosphere.
