Someone had better arrange for an intervention out in Chicago because this looks like a suicide attempt to me:
A triumphant Gov. Pat Quinn congratulated fellow Democrats early today after the Illinois Senate and House sent him a major income tax increase without a single Republican vote in favor.
Quinn smiled and shook hands on the floor of the Senate around 1:30 a.m. after the Senate voted 30-29 for the bill, which would raise the personal income tax-rate by 67 percent and the business income tax rate by 46 percent.
At the moment, I'm as worried about the fiscal views of the Tea Party as those of the left. I was telling the wife yesterday that I feel like a doctor trying to explain to a heroin addict, that withdrawal can kill you too - so you need to get clean, but ease into it. Little chance of that happening in Chicago though.
They're going through enough fiscal heroine to make Kieth Richards look like a Mennonite.

Yes, Tom. They are going to start that slow withdrawal after the 4 yr temporary tax hike expires. This time it is different. You just got to trust them. Democratic administration in IL is really going to cut the taxes all the way back.
LOL ... Vishnu you so crack me up.
I'll bet you that in 15 years the income tax in Illinois will be 5% or higher.

I am pretty right wing and believe that gold/silver should be part of the monetary system. However, the people that made this vid are taking things a bit too far.
