Illinois doinks Illinoisans again


Last year, the citizens of Illinois, alive and dead, duly marched to the polls and elected the approved democrat candidate for governor, J.B. Pritzker.  Pritzker is a millionaire, with which I have no problem, but he is just another corrupt democrat to run the single party state, with which I have plenty of problem.  Nobody cares, but I still have the problem. 

Pritzker brought with him a Michael Madigan approved package of tax increases, that will accomplish three things…drive MORE people from Illinois, drive MORE businesses out of Illinois, prevent MORE people from owning houses (the property taxes will result in you paying for your house, in taxes, before you pay the actual mortgage), and result in MORE of all of the bad that emanates from Springfield / Chicago.  Interestingly, since the public sector pension fund in Illinois is literally bankrupt, none of these taxes address THAT problem.

And then there is this little gem.


You know, without a doubt, that you are in an Orwellian world when your state legislature passes legislation designed to help BREAK THE LAW.  In this case, tuition assistance for illegal immigrants, and for the transgendered.

On the issue of tuition assistance for illegals….I get it…this is a one party leftist state, and the people voting for this shit in Springfield will be dead and gone before this criminality collapses the state.  And, former Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel publicly stated that illegals were welcome in Chicago….he said that they are safe there….which is odd because nobody else is safe there.  This bribing of illegals is just a step towards getting them on the leftist plantation so that they are set when the left overturns voting requirements.  But on the issue of transgendered people, this one is bewildering……

….and here is why I think that.

In my opinion, if you are “transgendered”, you are a mental case…plain and simple.  I see no science behind this nonsense, at all.  But the reasoning in Springfield is that, “transgendered people haven’t met the selective service registration requirement, which would make them eligible for state (tax payer) money, because their sexual identification holds up the process’, therefore, Illinois will just pick up the tab.

Most of you do not live in states that are flat out broke and corrupt.  I do, Illinois is one of them.  And the sad, and this is really sad, the sad part is that this is a lovely state.  I live in a great town (compared to the one I lived in for 10 years in Kansas), and I live in a neighborhood which might be considered a envied one in this town; nice people, comfortable surroundings, a regular icon.  I actually like it here, but if something happened to Janet (or she kicked my lazy ass out), I would be headed west….yesterday.  There are good people and good places here.  But the state is broke, destroyed by years of inflated, union driven collective bargaining and a government that sees the people in the state as a piggy bank.  If you read the article at the link, you will see the entire problem in a nutshell.  The colleges and universities welcome this measure because they get money, but as one representative put it, there is already some question if the funds will be sufficient as is.

But by all means….if debt and taxes don’t actually matter, give working Illinoisans money to people who have proven that they cannot operate within the law, and people who can’t decide on their gender or sex.

Because Illinois needs that.
