This state has lost more people this decade than any other state. In the past year, these greedy fucks have:
doubled the gas tax
upped cigarette tax by a dollar ($12ish in cook county, over $13 in Chicago)
legalized marijuana at up to 35% tax
Charged a $.05 a round centerfire tax, and a $25 a gun tax
Apparently all this bullshit was to pay for lazy spics and crying transvestities to go to college. This kike is pretty benevolent, when it's other people's money. He wasn't so concerned when he was pulling toilets out of a mansion to lower property tax.

When Springfield cries about having no money and the need for more taxes it's always about funding pensions, schools, and infrastructure. When they spend it, it's always about tards. I noticed my vehicle registration also jumped to $150 this year (from $100). It's never enough yet they keep finding more things to spend our tax dollars on.

I feel like it will just get to a point people will stop fleeing these shitholes and actually deal with issue at hand there. The dirty Communists that have weaseled their way into power and all the rights trampling excessive regulation and taxation they have brought with them. Look at every blue state it's exactly the same. People fleeing in droves because a small group of tyrants need to control everyone and pander to the shittiest people in society.

To be real, taxing a guy on how many shitters he has is prolly a piss poor idea and i would also pull all but two toilets out. I mean ya gotta have a second so you can take your sweet assed time so the spelling is pooper when you post shit posts on voat.

When your state's budget is already fucked, why not spend more? Stay south of the border fibs.

Illinois is bleeding people. They are desperate to try and get their population back up, and prevent the bleed. They need more people for their insane taxes.
[–] Smells_Like_Tacos 1 point 3 points 4 points (+4|-1) ago
I would not set foot in Illinois ever again. Thr coos are all blood thirsty to get anyone to pay the fines, hidden taxes that the court collects. And on top if that, all the people that like to have some fun and not hurt anyone has split because its illegal to have fun in Illinois.

The Jew cares not. Call Avi at the bank and create some more goyims dollars from thin air. Their children will be our wage slaves. Shalom

My husband sells cars so his check is always up/down. But let’s go back to the time his check was $7500 gross. After insurance premiums, the 1k draw he was on, state & federal taxes... his net was about $1500.
[–] blit416 ago
yikes, I can remember 10'000 getting dropped down to 5600 and I wanted to cry. how dare they?
welfare is about 700/month if I lost my job at that point. I could never get it back.

I want to feel bad for your husband but he enables stupid Americans to get cars they can't afford on loans to the Jew that are not made to be paid off.
Sometimes if shit is happening to you, you have to see whether God's judgment and subsequent punishment of you is apt.

These pritzker kikes are allllll about the tranny shit. Without them, it probably wouldn't be nearly as big of a deal right now...
