Class Warfare in Illinois and Unemployment rates

Comment Up

Bleeding heart Democrat in Illinois has proposed a 3% tax on all millionaires in his state.

And for a little trivia--there are twenty-nine Republican state governors in the country. Illinois is not run by one of them...neither is California or Nevada, states with the highest unemployment in the country. North Dakota is run by a Republican governor as is Nebraska, South Dakota and Utah, states with the lowest unemployment rates.
