I also live in a city, where the crime rate is just as high, and in some areas, higher than Chicago. My city has shown up on the Drudge Report more than once. One for a fourth of July outburst, where I was treating cops/paramedics for burns in the ER because people were shooting fireworks at them. Another for the mob of teens yelling "kill all the white people." I plan on moving as soon as humanly possible, before God strikes this state down.
My house, along with about 20 others that live in remote conservative subdivisions outside the city, was robbed at about 2:30am. They stole my $4,000 dollar camera, my wallet out of my purse, my moms, and both my sisters. What's even better, is that they found my sister's wallet in the Illinois river with nothing missing but her ATM card. This means, that I have to reapply for a FOID card, cancel all my cards, loose my leather wallet, for what? Nothing. They could have just taken my card out and left, but no. They took the whole confounded wallet. It's in the river. People are idiots. This kind of behavior is typical in Peoria, but the small towns surrounding it, not so much. That's new. And it's only getting worse. The poorer people get, the more they're going to steal. And people are about to get really poor, as if the south-side of Peoria could get any worse. Murder rate is already higher than Chicago, and frankly, the south-side looks like a third world country (minus the liquor store complete with drive-thru window, [with a huge sign outside that reads "we take stamps"] ). So happy to see another reminder of what my hard earned money goes to.
Will it play in Peoria? The saying, if you haven't heard of it, originates from the following:
In the United States, Peoria, Illinois, has legendary status as a test market. Peoria has long been seen as a representation of the average American city, because of its demographics and its perceived mainstream Midwestern culture. In the 1960s and 1970s, Peoria was deemed an ideal test market by various consumer-focused companies, entertainment enterprises (films and concert tours), even politicians, to gauge opinion, interest and receptivity to new products, services and campaigns.
This in mind, let us take a look at the economics here. Notice how the lines pretty much just shoot straight upwards/downwards respectively after the year 2008. Thomas Jefferson sums it up perfectly. "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, and Obama, along with our oh-so intelligent line of corrupt governors that Chicago continues to vote for, has continued to hike our taxes so high that the more overtime I work, the more of that money goes to support Lashawnda and her six illegitimate children, and her brother, the gun shot victim who robbed 4 houses in one night. Seriously. This is working out fantastically for me. Despite my urge to punch the screen, let's continue.
Once-thriving Illinois in February had 475,000 fewer jobs than it did in November 2000. Even replacing every one of those jobs wouldn't fix the sorry state of this state: Factoring in population growth over the last decade, Illinois needs 600,000 new jobs just to get the employment level back to where it was. The cumulative cost to Springfield of those lost jobs: $6 billion in tax revenues through fiscal '09 and, barring some miracle, $10 billion through fiscal '11.
That's an editorial from the Chicago Tribune. Illinois' credit rating was way ahead of the country's, being downgraded in early 2010. This was caused by the ever increasing taxes, the solution that all liberals tend to reach for, that OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WORK. They blame this on the "Great Recession." It has nothing to do with it. It's reckless politicians and overspending, not to mention the tax money we DO collect goes to paving roads that were repaved a year before. It's like mowing your lawn every day instead of doing the increasingly large load of dirty dishes sitting in black water in your leaking sink.
It's kinda funny though. Because Illinois is a farming state. The majority of the state houses conservative, christian farmers. But there's this thing. This thing called Chicago. And it owns us. Chicago breeds illegitimate, ignorant, liberal brats that have taken this state down to it's knees, or rather flat on its face. Obama's administration at the rate it's going, is going to make sure that half of this state's residents are fleeing, let alone the businesses trying to thrive here. Who wants to start a business in Illinois, where the taxes suck out all of your income, and businesses around you are failing right and left. You can't increase jobs here when your state isn't employer friendly. I love liberal circular reasoning...not as much as I love Illinois though.

I've been a telemarketer for over two MISERABLE years. The job sucks, but most of our plant jobs here have gone to China. I call all over the country. For the first couple years, what I heard on the phone was about people losing their jobs. What I'm hearing now is from the small businesses that are closing closing. It AIN't gonna get no better!
Liberals like all losers Always have the best excuses.
Well, don't dwell on 'getting even', just 'get out' while you still have some property value is my advice. Leave parasites to themselves and to figure out who is going to pay their bills.
Being in medical, your skills can be transported about anywhere.
And you're young enough.
