No. first of all you have no idea if the author had a preconceived thesis. As I see it the methodology flattens discrepancies between counties

Secondly, the fundamental conclusion, which you clearly don't like because of your preconceived notions, would change not a whit regardless of methodology.

Why?

Key phrases: lower income and how much each county receives.


You're getting back more than you kicked in. Period.

“The lower income regions of Illinois as a whole are receiving significantly more in state expenditures than they contribute in taxes,” the study wrote. “Indeed in the most southern region, there would be very little economic activity at all without the state.”

Most of the "infrastructure" in the farmlands are still gravel roads.

I understand that different communities have different needs but where is the money appropriated to? More gravel?

All I think we are saying is "pot meet kettle".

It's the same way everywhere I go, but somehow Chicago always winds up being the poster child for corruption. I wonder why that is?

Could it be that it has been a democrat stronghold for my full lifetime?

Like I said yesterday, for the amount of graft that's going on, we are the best at putting people's feet to the fire.

Check out the Red states and break it down to counties. "oh look, a squirrel that I feel the need to use as cannon fodder in a homemade catapult"

I don't care if my levee breaks as long as that girl I raped is forced to have my baby.
