Now, Consider This:
There are more people on Welfare in Illinois than there are people working.
Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year.
Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. You can't blame that on republicans because there aren't any.
Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what?
Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better.
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?
Body count: In the last six months 292 k**led (murdered) in Chicago .
221 k**led in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
. Here's 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: Rohm Emanuel
. The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
. Of course, they're all blaming each other.
. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
. Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. 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 is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???
. George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house.
. Of course he was replaced by Rob Blagojevitch who is...that's right, also in the big house.
. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago. That is because he is fighting being sent to...that's right, the big house.
. 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.
"Any man 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."

I'm not defending Obama or Illinois but couldn't believe your post so I checked a few things it wasn't hard. 1.) Average pay for teachers in chicago $64,509 6th in the nation 2.) Average pension 40% of salary for teachers.3.)Illinos ranks 12th in the nation in education. 4.)172 murders in the last 6 months, 292 was an 08 stat. 5.) I allmost forgot the most important one, the claim more people on welfare then working in Illinois was debunked by every fact check site on the internet when this chain e-mail first started.6.)Illinois unfunded pension liabilities, 94 billion second highest in the nation as of 2013. Do you ever check anything you post? As a God fearing man you claim to be doesn't the t***h mean anything to you? My parents told me you go to hell just as quick for lying as for stealing. Blindly repeating anything derogatory just shows you point of view or opinion has no credibility it's all based on what you read or heard not what is factual. (And this goes for you too Dutchey)
