POPSIllinois, The State That Lags Economically
As a resident of Illinois, I have seen first hand what the effects of Obama's "change" have been. In 2003, Obama voted to raise the state corporate income tax by $59 million for industries that use heavy machinery. The tax hit consumers of oil, coal, other natural resources Voted for a property tax hike to increase patronage employees' pay. The bill, costing taxpayers $31 million per year, was vetoed only to be overridden by the senate and house. In 2004, Obama voted for yet another state income-tax increase that hit Illinois businesses for an additional $29 million per year. In addition, Obama also voted for increased real estate sales taxes and a computer software sales tax hike that cost Illinois consumers and home buyers a combined $95 Million. Obama also supported a 33% increase in licensing fees on Illinois Residents. In a single massive bill in 2004, Obama voted to increase over 300 TAXES AND FEES Assessed on professionals and businesses operating under state license

POPSA lesson on Taxes How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so... The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings). The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings). Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got $1 out of the $20," declared the si

POPSGreed, Need, and Money "When Jack Welch became General Electric's CEO in 1981, the company was worth about $14 billion. Through hiring and firing, buying and selling decisions, Welch turned the company around and when he retired 20 years later, GE was worth nearly $500 billion. What's a CEO worth for such an achievement? If Welch was paid a measly one-half of a percent of GE's increase in value, his total compensation would have come to nearly $2.5 billion, instead of the few hundred million that he actually received."
