"Hardest Hit" in Illinois aren't those facing foreclosure, they're those paying taxes

 

Question is, who really is the "hardest hit" in Illinois?  Certainly no one enjoys seeing a neighborhood family be forced to pack up and move out because the recession pushed them into unemployment or underemployment and out of their homes.  But what about the folks who bought homes within or under their means, sacrificed new cars, food and clothing in order to make their house payments and pay their taxes?

How about those who are struggling with the same jobs they've had for years, but have had to make salary and wage concessions to keep their companies afloat?  And all the time, they were paying federal taxes so that hard-earned money can be dished out to neighbors through the greased palms of bureaucrats seeking political allegiance?  How about those small businessmen whose overhead has multiplied via jacked up health care costs, thanks to Obamacare?
