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.
