Illinois Politics has been corrupted

The fraud of the Public Sector has destroyed the state and the nation. The 23 million millionaires in the Public Sector with their 50% over compensation (average Federal Employee costs over $140K) and the outright fraud of their millionaire pension plans which have put a $50 Trillion obligation on the backs of the taxpayers have bankrupted the US. The collusion and fraud can be seen in any Public Sector Labor Agreement with the ridiculous compensation scales and the 40% inflation in the final years before retirement of their outrageous salaries. There is a reason why the taxes for property, licenses, income and fees keep climbing by double digits in order to pay for these millionaires. We need major restructuring and reform of the Public Sector but it will never happen from the inside for all the members are major beneficiaries of this fraud. We would need immediate reform of the Pension System by capping the payout for those 35 years or older to $50K maximum annually which is actually higher then the $44K entitled to those with the highest contributions in the system and all others would be placed into Social Security, Medicare and a self-directed 401K with a maximum match of 3%. Introduce a Voucher System at $7K per student and the parents can use it for choosing the school system of their choice – private, parochial, or public. But it would immediately lower property taxes and end the fraud in these Public Education fiefdoms. Make all Public Sector Labor Agreements be approved at the Ballot Box because we see the fraud and collusion is endless by the Politicians and the Public Sector Administrators. If we had a Judicial System that was not part of this fraud we should require prosecution for the corruption and fraud perpetrated on the taxpayers but that is impossible with our Judicial System. It is a shame that in the 21st Century we still have a 17th Century School System that serves only its members. The Technology exists today that we could have a “Virtual School System” for all grades Junior High and above and it could even serve as a supplemental system for the lower grades. Every student would be taught by the “Subject Matter Expert” and would have thousands of non-repeating exercise to measure comprehension in a continuous manner and remedial help could be provided immediately. The progression would no longer be based on age or the calendar year but rather on true mastery of the subject. And most importantly this system would cost less than 30% of today’s Public System’s median costs. But of course it would impact the Public Sector status quo and all the associated cottage industries that profit from the present bloated and dysfunctional system.
