Barack Obama - and Illinois' taxes
A resident of Illinois is warning us...
Here's the closing of a post by J. Brown on the PoliticallyDrunk blog:
"Since 2002, Illinois has consistently lagged in job growth and has seen a drastic reduction in the number of of health care workers employed within the state. Since 2002, Illinois has raised more taxes and fees than any other state in the nation, while failing to balance their budget even once. Since 2002, Illinois has expanded social services, such as children's health insurance, without taking a single step to protect services already in existence. As of October of 2008, the state is over 18 months behind in Medicaid payments to health care providers.
Illinois is a picture of Obama's economic philosophy and what this nation has to look forward too, it is a picture of corruption, out-of-control spending and a government that will tax small and large businesses into non-existence."
