I have to post on this one. It’s tax season, and despite the fact that my own small company has already paid 20% of our “gross” income to various employment taxes we have been required by the federal government to pay another 10% of gross for profits. This means the government profited 30% of my gross sales and I collected 0.1% which I immediately reinvested into a doughnut.
Now Illinois wants to raise income taxes not by a little but by fifty friggin percent!
Quinn: Income tax rate going up
I am sick to death of the idiots in the inner cities voting for politicians who will give them free health care or free housing or whatever for sitting on their g-damn asses (yeah I said it!). You know Europe mocks the US becase we are so hard on the poor. Bull, our poor often drive nicer cars than me. In the past Americans knew socailsim didn’t work. Now we’ve paid off inner city folks to live on welfare for their entire lives and at the same time imported a hundred million or so from socialist countries. We let the illegals vote without paying taxes and they don’t know the single reason which made America wealthy. — Less government control! They couldn’t even conceive of a federal government not controlling education.
What’s more, Quinn (our glorious replacement for Blago –Obama’s cohort who”s going to jail) wants high taxes with specifically targeted incentives. That’s right!! The government will take more from everyone and dole out incentives to the worthy! A direct and blatant plan to increase corruption and poverty.
I would move out, but this country was the single area on the planet where we didn’t have to deal with these assinine policies. Europe was lost a century ago. This is MY money that I earned, the rest of you don’t deserve it. The only word for what is happening is THEFT!
Don’t the morons out there see what this kind of legislation did to industry in California. It’s dumber than hell, there needs to be an IQ test to vote.
Whatever they do, I hope they don’t decrease spending. Now that would really be crazy!
Maybe if Antarctica warms up enough I could move there and that could be the industrial capital of the world.

I’m sorry for the rant, of course many foreigners come to escape the problems we seem to welcome but just ask yourselves, what would our children learn if education were privatized? What if schools had to compete for students?!
Did you know in Illinois, they don’t teach phonics or division (the way it’s actually done). They do, however, have “mandatory” Spanish!

Here’s my proposed IQ test.
1- Do you believe in increased government control and taxation?
2- Does your liberal/conservative platform agree with a yes answer to #1?
3- Do the politicians in your party follow this requirement of the platform.
People who answer yes to all –PASS – democrat liberals
People who answer no to all PASS. – conservative republicans.
All others FAIL
