There are soooo many reasons to leave Il., even besides the ones mentioned. I'm looking into TX right now. I have a family member that recently moved there from North Carolina, and they are a good information source. I'm suppose to be getting more info. about a job tomorrow. I just hope I find where I want to go, before this state completely self destructs.

Move to ILL get it ill. we pay over a hundred bucks a year for plates. I don't blame you I would not live in St. Louis. And Tennesse was my number1 pick but have some great friends down at Kentucky lake. And I know TN has great people also. I have read about the taxes there very good for it's people. You are very lucky to have been able to make the move. Enjoy!

Get your butt on down here! Load Paula up & come on. They have a good nursing program right here in Paducah & a brand new hospital in Marshall County.

Plenty of good jobs around here with your experiece in the machine shop. We break stuff all the time out here on the river & lots of it has to be custom made.

Come on down & we'll grow corn & chickens & fry CRAPPIE!

MICKEY'S IN DA HOUSE!!! :D

Just want to be left alone and fish...always like this saying and it has never rang truer... Just outside of Chicago there's a place called Illinois

I am looking for some deer hunting property in Illinois if someone needs a little extra income to help with the taxes. It really is sad that Chicago and East St. Louis bring down an otherwise beautiful state with a lot of great folks. I have been bowhunting in Illinois for five years and met some wonderful people.

You must be hunting in southern Illinois. You get much past Bradly and the people change. Most are very arrogant and are a get out of my way type of person. Most people from up there are from Chicago not Illinois. Just ask them were there from and that is what you will here.
Now remember not everyone you meet is like that but most.

Wish my property taxes were that low, you must live in a little trailer house ?:rolleyes: That article was for income taxes not personal property or real estate taxes.

My house just appraised for $155,000 and my real estate taxes are $3875.00 year. And now they just took some were around a $1000.00 bucks
out of my pay check a year. And you can see that are gas is allways 3-5 cent a gallon more here also. unless you go to the city and the prices they have on gas and booze and smokes is unreal.

That's funny. :D

Years ago, I considered moving to Chicago. I am SO glad I didn't do that, for all sorts of reasons.

"The past three years have been very difficult for Knapheide Manufacturing and our people," Knapheide said. "We have undergone significant layoffs, wage freezes, elimination of performance bonuses and numerous cost cutting measures."

Knapheide said the tax increase does not help the company compete in what is already a tough business environment.

"Price competition in our depressed markets is fierce," he said. "It is impossible to full cover increase in material costs, energy costs, the added expense of Obamacare and now the added cost of the waste and corruption in Illinois government."

Knapheide said downstate businesses are expected to pay for "the Chicago political machine" that is "destroying not only Chicago and Cook County, but the economy of the entire state of Illinois. The machine carefully takes care of their political cronies at the expense of the Illinois taxpayer. Their arrogance, greed and corruption leave the people of Illinois with high income taxes, high property taxes and high unemployment."
