A State with No Republicans

Post by hack52 »

"A State with No
Republicans!"



Very interesting...Note this: A U.S. State with
zero Republicans in office - The State of Illinois. Think about this.




Some interesting
data on the 'state' of Illinois... There are more people on welfare
in Illinois
than there are people working. Chicago pays the
highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging
$110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are
Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till
the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago? Body count: In
the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 221 killed in Iraq; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in
the entire US.



Here's the Chicago chain of command: President: Barack
Hussein Obama · Senator: Dick Durbin · House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
· Governor: Pat Quinn · House leader: Mike Madigan · Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan
(daughter of Mike) · Mayor: Rohm Emanuel · The leadership in Illinois - all
Democrats. · Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. · Of course, they're all blaming
each other. · Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! ·



Chicago school system
rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't
any!

>> State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!



>> Cook County
(Chicago)
sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't
any!



This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is
going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?



>>
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison.



>> He was
replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is that's right, also in
prison.



>> And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple
of weeks ago, because he is fighting to not be sent to...that's right,
prison.



The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our
license plates.




But you know what?



As long as they keep
providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except
the state will go broke before the country does.



"Anybody who thinks he
can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better
take a closer look at the American Indian."



Don’t forget Detroit either—another
good example.


Some of you might
find th is data
interesting. ALL SHOULD! There are actually two messages here. The first
is very interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding -- and explains a
lot!

A recent
"Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from
a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.




Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after
diagnosis:



U.S. 65%

England 46%
Canada
42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received
treatment within six months:



U.S. 93%
England
15%
Canada 43%

Percentage of
seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:




U.S. 90%

England 15%
Canada
43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one
month:



U.S. 77%

England 40%
Canada
43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million
people:



U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18

Percentage of
seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":




U.S. 12%

England 2%

Canada 6%

And now for the
last statistic:



National Health Insurance?



U.S. NO
England
YES
Canada YES

And check this last set of statistics!!



The
percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private
business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.....



You
know what the private business sector is. A real-life business, not a
Government job. Here are the percentages:



T.
Roosevelt.................38%

Taft..................................40%
Wilson
...........................52%
Harding..........................49%

Coolidge.........................48%
Hoover
...........................42%
F. Roosevelt..................50%

Truman...........................50%

Eisenhower..................57%
Kennedy.........................30%

Johnson..........................47%

Nixon..............................53%

Ford.................................42%

Carter.............................32%

Reagan...........................56%
GH
Bush.........................51%
Clinton ..........................39%

GW Bush........................55%

Obama...............................8%

This helps to
explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever
worked in private business!

That's right! Only
eight percent -- the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these
people are trying to tell our big Corporations how to run their business?




How can the
president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful
economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's
never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one?
And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?




They've spent most
of their time in academia, Government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community
organizers." They should have been in an employment line.



Pass this on
because we'll NEVER see these facts in the mainstream media.

The shame of it Hack is as long as the democrats continue to expand entitlement programs they will continue to get elected. Only dishonest people deny this is a fact, period. The fact that they continue to be elected with so much evidence that their policies only increase dependency/poverty says a lot more about the voting electorate then it does about the candidates. What it really says is that their electorate is not intelligent enough to recognize that they are in worse shape the longer the democrats are in charge.

Democrats constantly whine and cry about needing more money for education...our students are less educated and just plain dumber than ever before...


And YET its the DEMOCRATS and UNION SCUM who have had control of Public Schools and higher education (that means college Rufus) for over 40 years now.

Its obvious to anyone who is willing to see...get UNIONS and LIBERALS out of our schools and our kids will be better educated and THEREFORE know WHO to vote for.
The 1st amendment allows the usual liberal narcissistic "I think.." which is how they start all their sentences.

The second amendment protects us from implementing "I think"
