    The Triumph of Mathematics in Illinois

    Things get expensive in Chicago thanks to solid-gold transit workers’ bennies, and the high cost of electricity (thanks, EPA).

    The little people notice and take their own little actions.

    "Illinois people are welcome to move to Indiana but don’t bring your screwed-up Illinois political thinking with you."

    Sadly, like a virus, the liberals fleeing a state they've destroyed set about destroying their new host. Where I lived, Californians brought us gated communities, home owners associations, laws to drive working class people out of town, and then whining about a lack of diversity. it's quite mad, really.

    Liberals and math don't really go together anyway. It's more, how does it feel? Does it feel like a 116% increase or not? A liberal told me nothing is absolute and I laughed and said, "Math is absolute." "No it isn't." "One plus one equals two. Always. Even if you're black." "No it doesn't." He then proceeded, futilely of course, to prove that sometimes, one plus one equals something besides two.

    Indiana is the antithesis of Illinois. Indiana has lower taxes, a balanced budget, a government that is in the black, and a pro-business environment. Thank you very much Mitch Daniels (R) and the Republican-led legislature for keeping the Hoosier state a great place to work and live.

    Colorado was a wonderful place, too. But, you get enough Californians living in a small community and it's toast. And, like a virus, they're damned hard to get rid of. Chicagoans won't be any better than the Californians and they're probably even more corrupt.

    During the Great Depression the Californians put armed thugs on the state line to keep Okies out. We have a few states were should put armed thugs around and keep the virus quarantined.

    Yes. And your point is?


    Ever been to Chicago? Its the most corrupt city in the U.S. It is also home to our current President and many of his senior advisers.

    Jenda, I don't know what Cigar said but he never has a point. I would have to say Chicago is tied with New Orleans for corrupt but Chicago is so disgustingly proud of it. President Obama's wife bragged that she was teaching her daughters "south side Chicago values." That is truly sad. But, it works for daddy, doesn't it?
