Illinois Liberal Politics Won’t Stop Chicago Shootings

Last update February 18, 2018Leave a Comment

Liberal politics in Illinois did not prevent Obama’s hometown from becoming a slaughterhouse. Spending for neighborhood projects and community initiatives has not stopped Chicago shootings. After the city celebrated Independence Day weekend with over 80 shootings, the summer has settled into a comfortable pattern of daily news of more shootings to the accompaniment of tiresome calls to end gun violence and take back the city’s worst neighborhoods.

Fairness in Illinois is for Politicians, Liberals, and Losers

Last update September 10, 2014Leave a Comment

Fairness should be your biggest concern when you are standing in front of a judge or being audited. Otherwise, unless you stand to gain by leveling the playing field, fairness is a value that should be reserved for liberals and losers.

Raising Taxes in Illinois to Pay for Our Taxpayer Prison

Last update September 19, 2016Leave a Comment

As punishing as it feels to write a check at tax time it is especially painful in Illinois, where raising taxes, fees, and penalties has constructed an elaborate taxpayer prison giving individuals and businesses little choice but to leave.

Tax dollars in Illinois don’t seem to make anything better and raising taxes like we did in 2011 doesn’t lessen the debt burden enough to notice.

Are Illinois Democrats the Worst Politicians in America?

Last update January 5, 20162 Comments

What is the best way to renege on a promise to taxpayers? We all know that there is no such thing as a temporary tax increase, just like we know that there is no such thing as fiscal sanity in Illinois.
