Like CA and we in NJ, IL has a huge budget deficit and powerful public worker's unions....

"Ill. House passes major tax increase"

"....The bill increases the personal income tax from 3 to 5 percent and the corporate rate from 4.8 to 7 percent...."


Maybe we in NJ can grab some of those business that flee IL.

Default Everyone knew CA would fall into the sea

CA and IL who baffle the rest of the nation by generationaly re-electing the likes of Boxer, Pelosi and Obama have met their Darwinian fate.

The sad outcome of these states was quite predictive based on their traditional actions and policies that made them stand apart form the rest of the nation.

What's the "proper wage" for a WalMart Employee?

You want to tax a company and give the money to their employees? WTH kind of crackpot economy is that?

the voters got themselves into the mess in CA. Economist had a good story on dec 4th about all the stuff californians voted in for spending, but never voted for any methods of paying for it (with their "direct democracy" prop system).

the voters only have themselves to blame for their mess.

$9.50/hr for a cashier that usually doesn't have a GED is pretty good. everyone loves to bash wal-mart, but they bash them based on misconceptions.
