To He#$ with Illinois. I was traveling through to duck hunt in Arkansas, and stopped to eat. Idiots had restaurant lick down. Meaning travelers didn’t have a place to eat.
I made it to MO, and finally found some sanity. On my return trip, I made sure I ate and filled the tank in MO so I didn’t spend a dime e in that forsaken State.
If you live there and pay those absurd property taxes, you deserve your misery. Only dumber place to live is California.
My income tax in Il. was $0 because they don't tax retirement income or SS. Indiana does tax retirement but not SS. So instead of paying $0 if I lived in Indiana my state taxes would have been $5,750. Hell that's almost twice what I pay in property taxes. So for me I'd be a lot dumber living in Indiana than Il. Plus there isn't any toll roads downstate.
