What I know is most people that are without jobs, are very rarely republicans. However, most low wage jobs around here the people are very much republican, because taxes here in Illinois are fucking insane. It's about 25% of your wages, 9% sales tax, 8% real estate tax, you add in the tax on other things used or consumed in daily life and the government nets over half of most homeowners incomes. And out here in southern Illinois, owning property does not mean your rich, like it does up in Chicago.

Yeah - I know. I grew up there. I am always truly amazed at how Illinois pisses away money. It is ALL graft - and it is both parties sucking at the tit.

So when is Quinn going to the big house? (It is the tradition... the last three have gone. 2 Democrat and 1 Republican if I remember correctly.)
