A State with No Republicans!'

[NCC-1701]

Very interesting...Note this. A US State with zero Republicans in office

-The State of Illinois. Think about this...Some interesting data on the state of Illinois:

-There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working.

-Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers in the U.S., averaging $110,000/year.

Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow! Are Illinois and Chicago great or what?

Be sure to read till the end, never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?

Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 221 killed in Iraq; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

The Chicago chain of command:

President: Barack Hussein Obama ..
Senator: Dick Durbin ..
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. ..
Governor: Pat Quinn ..
House leader: Mike Madigan ..
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike).
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel.
The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago.

Of course, they are all blaming each other - can't blame Republicans, there aren't any! ..

Chicago school system rated one of the WORST in the U.S. Can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!

State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he went to fix Washington politics for us?/????????

George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison.

Ryan was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is, that's right, also in prison.

And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. who resigned a few months ago, that's right, is also in prison.

The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.

But you know what?

As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.
"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him, better take a closer look at the American Indian."

And check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past President's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.....

You know what the private business sector is - a real-life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages: look!!!

T. Roosevelt................... 38%
Taft................................40%
Wilson ........................... 52%
Harding......................... 49%
Coolidge........................ 48%
Hoover ........................ ..42%
F. Roosevelt................... 50%
Truman..........................50%
Eisenhower.................... 57%
Kennedy........................30%
Johnson..........................47%
Nixon.............................53%
Ford...............................42%
Carter............................32%
Reagan...........................56%
GH Bush.........................51%
Clinton .......................... 39%
GW Bush.......................55%
Obama............................. 8%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration, only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

That's right! Only eight percent -- the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents!
And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business?
He never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one?

Having lived in Hellinois for the last 12 years, I can't wait to get out. Luckily, retirement is getting close. Sell this house and get out of Dodge

NH has turned from a fairly conservative place to liberal magnate. I plan on leaving, with my money, late next year.
