Thanks, 47. #ILGov Quinn's Job-Killing Tax Increase a mere 66% now. #ILPolitics #teaparty

The 47% of Illinois voters who thought Pat Quinn was fit for the office to which he was sworn in today did the more sensible of us no favors.



Illinois needs to cut spending. There are lots of ways to do this, but none of these ways are politically viable for a Democrat. Democrats are owned by the public sector labor unions and those kept in poverty by the seduction of government and its stranglehold on our state's economy.



But it's clear Quinn's has a plan to keep people in Illinois: send property values though the floor so no one can afford to leave.

ILLinois now looking only at a 66 percent income tax increase

Governor Pat Quinn and the Democrats in the ILLinois General Assembly are now only looking at a relatively paltry 66 percent increase in the personal state income tax. Last week they proposed upping the rate from 3 percent to 5.25 percent--a 75 percent hike. The corporate income tax goes up too--from 4.8 percent to 7 percent, according to their latest plan. The spenders in the legislature were seeking an 8 percent rate. After four years the income tax goes down to a still undetermined amount. This will cost me a lot of money--that cash is headed for the sinkhole known as Illinois state government. The state has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Last year a Quinn aide suggested a 2 percent increase in the personal state income tax, which the governor disavowed--he said he would veto a hike that big. But it appears that was Quinn's plan all along. He's a liar. Read more at marathonpundit.blogspot.com

Quinn A-Tax Illinois

Democrats kept their grip on power in the Illinois Legislature and won the governorship by the slimmest of margins, and they are going to make voters pay for it. Emboldened by his reelection, Governor Quinn and legislative allies are seizing on the lame duck session to sneak through a radical tax and spending plan the voters did not expect and would not have accepted. Campaigning in 2010, Gov. Pat Quinn declared his intention to raise income taxes from 3% to 4%. So after winning the election by a razor-thin margin over Bill Brady, Quinn had some claim to a mandate, since the people who voted for him knew that was his plan.

Dear #union members: you must decide if you are Americans or communists #tcot

It is now clear that the communist agenda of Stern, Trumka, and Obama is not compatible with American values.



They want wealth to be redistributed, to be taken from those who earn it and given to those who do not, in the name of "social justice", their twisted idea of fairness.



But Americans believe that fairness is when the rules apply equally to all, not when the power of government is used to help or hurt one person more than another.



And the communists believe that we are part of a group, not individuals with our own thoughts, our own beliefs, our own dreams. Americans believe that an individual should stand on his own, holding his hand out in friendship to others, but not holding it out to beg from them.



And now Stern, Trumka, and Obama want to push this social justice by taking down America. They want to send our jobs overseas, and are working hard, with their taxes and regulations, to make sure companies and their factories can't locate in America, but cheap foreign labor can.



They follow the model of Marx, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao: speak glowingly of fairness and the wonders that will happen if they can only rob those who have to give to those who do not. And if you speak out against them, if you dare open your mouth in opposition, you know what will become of you, your family, and your friends. You know what they will do to you.



They reward laziness and sloth, in order to gain dependents. They want power for themselves. They live for it.



So decide. Are you a follower of thugs or of freedom?

AFL-CIO Top Boss: Union Movement is Creating Permanent Progressive Structure

You’ve known for a while now that today’s union bosses are no longer about just “helping the workers.” They are, as we’ve shown you in the past, about transforming America into a semi-socialist state, that includes the taking over of public businesses.

Note to union members: After you view this video, if you cannot yet figure out that the union you are paying dues to is only using you to Europeanize America, there is no hope for you. Read more at www.redstate.com

Averting disaster: clean house at the RNC. #teaparty #tcot

It's clear that the RNC chairman, treasurer / CFO and chief counsel need to step out of leadership.



Both Michael Steele and Reince Priebus are relatively young to have gotten into leadership positions at the RNC. They can take these changes as learning opportunities, improve their political and administrative acumen, and move on.



But they aren't the right people to run the RNC right now.

Is it a Reince Priebus for RNC Chair, or the precipice of disaster?

An interesting post up on the RNC Chair race over at Redstate. It follows up on a Politico item. It has recently come to my attention that the things I have seen about Reince have been observed by others in the RNC. Politico is reporting a RNC Chairman out of CT has the same concerns I Do Not Believe This Is The Man For Our Party. Read more at www.riehlworldview.com
