Madigan: It’s Rauner’s Fault

We keep hearing from DC Democrats that it’s all Bush’s fault even though he hasn’t been President for nearly 6 years. When that doesn’t work they resort to you’re a racist.

Speaker Michael Madigan has now taken a novel approach here in Illinois that it is all Bruce Rauner’s fault even though he hasn’t even been elected yet.

Madigan and Quinn both dismissed remarks from Durkin and Republican governor candidate Bruce Rauner, who was critical of Democrats for pushing a tax hike that he says is not needed. Rauner has contended the high taxes are causing businesses and people to leave Illinois.

Madigan shot back: “People are leaving because they’re looking at the prospect of Rauner as the governor.”

This is probably one the most laughable statements made by Madigan. He’s been in the legislature for 40 years and Speaker for nearly 30 of those years.

Here are a few statistics on the out-migration with Micheal Madigan speaker for all but 2 years since 1995:

  • Records show that from 1995 - 2009:
    • one person left the state every 10 minutes
    • 806,000 net loss of people
    • $26 Billion in taxable income
  • In 2009 Alone:
    • 40,000 net people left
    • $1.5 Billion in taxable income
  • Between July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2013
    • Nearly 40,000 net loss of people
    • 67,000 if only moves between the states are used
  • Since 2010 - 137,000 net out-migration

In a recent Gallup Poll, 50% of the residents want to move out of the state.

The one person in common with these statistics is Micheal Madigan.

  1. The art of deflection and distraction is the mode of operation by these criminals of the Public Sector and quite successful based on the Epic fraud levels in the entire Public Sector today. Most taxpayers do not understand why there taxess are as oppressive as they are because they cannot see that supporting the 23 million Kings and Queens of the Public Sector in this nation plus their many friends via their continuous plunder of the taxpayers is quite lucrative and rewarding for these criminals.

    Nothing that criminal says is laughable - he’s destroyed a wonderful state

    Mikie is doing quite well is he not. What Mikie wants is what Mikie gets. R’s get almost nothing because Mikie blocks 99% of everything. His ring is worn out with all the kissing. He’s even positioned his daughter (adopted) to be Gov soon. Not now but its a coming.

    The State House and Legislature of Illinois is populated by a race of talking hemorrhoids and November has just been declared “Preparation H Month”.

    who are those “leavers” madigan-you are mad-yes mad madigan-any of those takers leaving? Nope, just the givers being literally robbed by you, your royal madness,-I hate you, mad-madigan-you have made me into a leaver in heart, mind, soul, and soon, body. You, you greedy, corrupt, piggy, NOT BRUCE RAUNER has made Illinois, Land of Leavin’-my bumper sticker on my car, mad maddy. We are leavin’ because of you-mr. uberwhakco. Rejection is making you defensive, huh?

  6. Danni Smith says:

    This article was online. Madmike didn’t read it or he would have known people and businesses were leaving Illinois long before Rauner announced his candidacy. In case you read this article, Madmaddy, I am only here if Rauner becomes the next Gov. If not, it’s you I am escaping, you, you, oh, what I wish upon you-you should only know.
