Anyone with half a brain should've fled Illinois by now. Taxing retirement savings? Why would anyone in their right mind tolerate that?

The only reason people put their money in a 401(k) or 403(b) is because it's tax free while you're still earning. And IIRC contributions are capped until you're 50ish. So these people just aren't going to use those instruments if they're going to tax them anyway.

Is Illinois trying to force a brain drain to Canada, or something? There are provinces that would gladly snap up a lot of the doctors, nurses, engineers there LOL.

ETA: disregard, they're being even stupider than I thought they were trying to be. But still, wtf?

This is what happens in blue states.

This will force retired private sector people out of the area they lived and worked their entire lives to fund just 3% of the gap in the states ability to pay undeserved retirement benifits to state employees.

I’d say this is enough to turn Illinois red, but so many niggers in that state and they don’t have retirement accounts.
