Nowhere to go? Have you looked at a map? They could relocate just over the Illinois border in Northwest Indiana or Southern Wisconsin and probably keep the majority of their current employees. Both states are actively courting Illinois businesses. Hell, the ChicagoBoard of Trade and the ChicagoMercantile Exchange are considering leaving Illinois too! Along with Motorolla, Jimmy John's, Sears, and 25% of all small businesses. Yay Illinois!!!
These businesses that hold jobs hostage because they don't want to pay taxes actually have enablers in the work force.
Geitner (the tax cheat) along with Rangle and company should also pay their taxes. U2 should help feed the poor in Ireland that he so laments in his songs, but no way, he is off collecting $180,000,000 this tour. They need to shell out their fair share like the rest of us.

Simply amazing.
Those "enablers" are smart enough to know that the less money the government can steal from their employer means more of a chance they will get a raise.

Isn't this one of the companies obama was touting about his stimulus? Telling us how Caterpillar would be hiring and growing and creating jobs right here?

If there is no demand that justifies hiring, why would they? The missing demand is consumer spending...people are closing up their wallets because of what obama is doing.....well, at least I am....and there are millions more where I come from.

Business is fleeing Illinois because of the tax, spend and regulatory policies of the democrats in power...just like in other states ruined by their governance.
There are PLENTY of states courting them...and I encourage business to do just that...leave this horrible state and teach the democrats a lesson.
Illinois isn't doing them any favors. Why wouldn't they leave? Moving to a more business friendly state would be a major step forward for that company.
Wanting a raise instead of seeing your hard work go to the government is "clownish"?? I guess in your mind. Maybe you think some of their hard work will find its way into your hand?
I suppose you think it's ok for them to cheat because it's federal taxes and the federal gubiment is EVIL.
if a tax cheat is a tax cheat, then why are you not screaming for geithner, and wrangle, and other democrats who failed to pay their taxes, until they were caught, to resign their positions?
Tax cheats have no right to complain about taxes. End of story. You obviously disagree, and that is your right.
Whether they are federal or state doesn't matter. A tax cheat is a tax cheat.
Tell that to Obama's choice to head the IRS.
