Ex-Democrat Artur Davis: Obama has lost his ‘halo’

[Space Racer]

'TAMPA—Former congressman Artur Davis—once a Democratic rising star, now a Republican weapon—accused President Barack Obama late Tuesday of bamboozling voters four years ago with "flowery words" and charged that the incumbent has lost the "halo" his supporters thought he had in 2008.'

what do you expect from "crook county"?

Looking up "Crook County Illinois," I found out

Illinois is ranked

50th for fiscal policy;
47th in job creation;
1st in unfunded pension liabilities;
2nd largest budget deficit;
1st in failing schools;
1st in bonded indebtedness;
highest sales tax in the nation;
most judges indicted (Operations Greylord and Gambat); and
5 of our last 9 elected governors have been indicted. That is more than the other 49 states added together!

Then add 32 Chicago Aldermen and (according to the Chicago Tribune) over 1000 state and municipal employees indicted.

The corruption tax is a real cost of doing business.

We are the butt of jokes for stand up comics.



We live in the most corrupt big city, in the most corrupt big county in the most corrupt state in America.

I am sick and tired of subsidizing crooks.

A day rarely passes without an article about the corruption and incompetence.

Chicago even got caught rigging the tests to hire police and fire!

Our Crook County CORPORATE property tax system is intentionally corrupt.

The Democrat State Chairman who is also the Speaker of the Illinois House and the most senior alderman in Chicago each make well over a million dollars a year putting the fix in for their client’s tax assessments.

We are moving to Texas where there is no income tax while Illinois’ just went up 67%.



Texas’ sales tax is ½ of ours, which is the highest in the nation.

Southern states are supportive of job producers, tax payers and folks who offer opportunities to their residents.

Illinois shakes them down for every penny that can be extorted from them.

In The Hill Country of Texas (near Austin and San Antonio) we bought a gracious home on almost 2 acres with a swimming pool. It is new, will cost us around 40% of what our home in Wilmette just sold for and the property taxes are 1/3rd of what they are here.

Crook County’s property tax system is a disaster: Wilmette homes near ours sell for 50% more and their property taxes are ½ of ours. Our assessed home value was 50% higher than the sales price. The system is unfair and incompetent.

Our home value is down 40%, our property taxes are up 20% and our local schools have still another referendum on the ballot to increase taxes over 20% in one year.

I could go on, but enough is enough.

I feel as if we are standing on the deck of the Titanic and I can see the icebergs right in front of us.

The UAW rank and file already know that due to restructuring of GM,Chrysler,and Ford that they were sold down the river in the auto bail out deal but it is all hush hush.2nd tier wages at 15.78 an hour is now the new global assembly wages. As more and more small cars that will have to be assembled and with profits on those cars one third of larger vehicles,coupled with innovation,automation,and technology less and less human labor is needed.

Joe Bama declares US manufacturing is back.The more he helps out the worse it will get.Crony capitalism,its a wonderful thing.
