    And the hits just keep coming. Progressive income tax, and they are starting to seek altering the IL constitution as well with it.

    Wait- sounds to me like that bans federal income tax?

    I think it is a poorly written "watch the right hand while the left does the work".

    Usually first drafts are never the ones to make it through the chambers.

    Often times Cullerton and Madigan have struggles about who's bills get passed as the final draft. This one coming from the senate, when the House normally handles the "financials", is probably just the introduction of such and the real meat gets put out closer to the spring session close.

    If they ever tried to remove federal taxing it would only mean they want that money too.

    I've already said, anything federal tax rates lowering gives us back, Madigan will go after because we are already used to not having it.

    Well, could also preclude a Chicago/Cook Co specific income tax which has been proposed recently. Would take money away from Springfield.

    I dont think I am that rare. The problem is that the media and others on both sides want to focus on the extreme. I dont think every MAGA hat wearer is some racist knuckle dragging mouth breather just like not every Democrat thinks AOC is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Plus, I'm a Democrat in Oklahoma.. which I'm pretty sure makes me more conservative than any east coast yankee or west coast fruit Republican.

    you're more rare than you think- your party has abandoned you. Come over to the dark side and help us push the Chamber of Commerce NeoCon GOP asshats out of the Republican party.

    Idiots that speed to cut in front of you, then hit their brakes and crawl along. Semi’s that hold up 15-20 cars on the mountain road doing 15 mph, and dont pull over, where there is plenty of space to do so.

    Im more of a libertarian. Support gay rights/marriage, against any kind of religion bleeding into laws, however also support strict border enforcement, low taxes, small government, freedom of speech, against any and all gun or weapon control laws, buy American Hire American, anti-abortion, ho hum yadda yadda. Both fringes hate me :lol: one side calls me a nazi, the other side calls me a communist:usa:

    A-holes on snowmobiles a trail goes my ditch at the end of a driveway. I was headed to town pulled up to the end of my driveway and a snowmobiler has to slam on his brakes to avoid running into the side of my truck. Then he gets off is giving me the finger and is cursing me out. I calmly said we can have the police over to sort this out if you want.

    Ive always wanted to try riding a snowmobile. Esp up in Alaska or up with my friends in Norlisk/St.Petersburg with the auroras overhead. Bow on my back should a bear cause trouble.

    The groomer rips up my culvert every winter, every spring I call the county to come out and inspect the damage, they have replaced the culvert twice.
