What does unemployment mean? Well 10% unemployment means 1 out of every 10 persons in a particular area is out of work. That is you, your friend, your family member or your neighbor!
Illinois lost 86,021 taxpayers between 1995-2007 to its border states: Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky. This represents $26.8-Billion in cumulative Adjusted Gross Income loss.
The total net income leaving the State averaged over $1.8 billion between 1995 and 2007.
District 86's former Representative is directly responsible for the loss of citizens, jobs and their combined taxpaying wealth. As a former 20-year legislator, his consistent high taxation forced droves of taxpaying individuals out of our State. CAN YOU AFFORD MORE OF THE SAME?
The most significant driver of out-migration is the estate tax. This is especially important considering that the number one destination state for former Illinois residents is Florida, a state with NO estate tax and NO individual income tax.
