Fwd: FW: A State with no Republican​s.........​...

Subject: Fwd: "A State with No Republicans!"




Some interesting data on the 'state' of Illinois...  There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?  Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.   221 killed in Iraq; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

Here's the Chicago chain of command:  President: Barack Hussein Obama · Senator: Dick Durbin · House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. · Governor: Pat Quinn · House leader: Mike Madigan · Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) · Mayor: Rohm Emanuel · The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats. · Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. · Of course, they're all blaming each other. · Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! ·

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.  Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

· State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.  Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

· Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?

· George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the prison.

· He was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is that's right, also in the prison.

· And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago, because he is fighting to not be sent to...that's right, prison.

.The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.
 

But you know what?

As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."

           Don’t forget Detroit another good example.


Some of you might find these data interesting. ALL SHOULD.
There are actually two messages here.  The first is very interesting,
but the second is absolutely astounding -- and explains a lot!
 
     A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

             U.S.                      65%
             England                46%
             Canada                42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:

             U.S.                      93%
             England                15%
             Canada                43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

             U.S.                      90%
             England                15%
             Canada                43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

             U.S.                      77%
             England                40%
             Canada                43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

             U.S.                       71
             England                 14
             Canada                  18

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":

             U.S.                     12%
             England                2%
             Canada                 6%

And now for the last statistic:

            National Health Insurance?

             U.S.                     NO
             England               YES
             Canada                YES

            And check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.....

You know what the private business sector is.  A real-life business, not a Government job.  Here are the percentages:

                                                     T. Roosevelt...................38%
            Taft.................................40%
            Wilson ...........................52%
            Harding..........................49%
            Coolidge........................ 48%
            Hoover ...........................42%
                                                     F. Roosevelt...................50%
            Truman...........................50%
            Eisenhower.................... 57%
            Kennedy.........................30%
            Johnson..........................47%
            Nixon..............................53%
            Ford................................42%
            Carter.............................32%
            Reagan...........................56%
                                                         GH Bush.........................51%
            Clinton  ..........................39%
                                                   GW Bush........................55%
                         Obama............................. 8%

     This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

     That's right!  Only eight percent -- the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents!  And these people are trying to tell our big Corporations how to run their business?

     How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?

      They've spent most of their time in academia, Government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."  They should have been in an employment line.

   Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the mainstream media.

So right off the bat it starts with outrageous lies. Why stop there? If you're gonna just make shit up why not claim that the teachers make an average of infinity zillion dollars and that everyone there is on welfare and no body works?

I like this:

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":

U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%


If these stats are true (and I have my doubts) I wonder why that would be? Could it be that low income seniors in this country have Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to help them?

I've got a 63 year old friend who has needed new knees for twenty years now. He'll get them as soon as he has the ability to write a check to cover the $30,000 that Medicare won't pay.

Of course, if we'd had universal health care twenty years ago, he'd have had those knees and been working and paying taxes ever since. Instead, he lives on Social Security disability on our dime.

Yeah, our health system totally rocks.

Ah, Investors Business Daily, the right wing rag that infamously opined that if Stephen Hawking had to rely on the British health care system he would be dead--not realizing that, of course, Hawking has lived in England all of his life. I'm sure these stats came from a similar imagination.

**my emphasis

Liars: of course we'll see bullshit, unfactual, stupid nonsense like this in all the usual places like Fox, Rush, Glenn, etc. Spare me the ersatz victimization card... yet again.

Liars: almost none of what's listed in this skreed can actually qualify as "facts" except in the heavily brainwashed "minds" of conservatives, who lost touch with actual, factual reality along about when their hero, Ronald Reagan, was elected.

There's no such thing as a "United Nations International Health Organization."

Here's Snopes' message board thread. Sounds like IBD was playing a game of telephone with claims made by Mark Kirk. That thread goes into much more detail about why the statistics are totally bunk.

Here's a Sun-Times article looking at teacher salaries. Short answer: maybe they average $76,000, maybe less.

Republicans make up 40% of the Illinois House and 32% of the Senate.

PolitiFact gives the "more people on welfare than working" claim a pants on fire rating.

@anon,

You forget that Snopes, Sun-Times and PolitiFact are all Commie Nazi Liberal outlets funded by George Soros so have absolutely no credibility.

**End blatant sarcasm and purposely committed use of contradictory ideologies typical in RW forwards**
