[22:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "Here's a convenient chart for who benefits more from federal spending than they're paying in federal taxes. Odds are people in the "orange" States would be better off with the Standard Deduction. Not a lot of super high income people there.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	But if you want a more granular view you'd have to break it down into counties. By that measure, the counties that passed the non-binding referendum to leave Illinois and join Indiana would be a poorer State than Mississippi, and even poorer than the Territory of Puerto Rico.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	The last figure I heard was that they get about $3 from the State for every $1 they send to the State, but I don't know federal figures. I'd assume a big gap. Everywhere you go that's rural and there's a city with like 900 people in it that doesn't have the tax base to sustain a library, you hear about how a city-county with about 6 million people in it that pays for nearly everything they get is "ripping them off".
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	If the referendum were legal, and they left, the remainder of Illinois would have a Gross State Product per capita that was higher than California, and it would be the richest State in America because of Chicago. If Chicago (just the city limits) were compared to a country, it would have an economy similar to Switzerland. (The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Chicago will be $832.9 billion in 2022, and Switzerland would be $818.4 
[22:14]	IsambardPrince	billion).
[22:14]	IsambardPrince	Whereas Indiana (the total State) would be comparable to North Korea's.
[22:14]	IsambardPrince	Now, Indiana claims that they will create a commission to study taking over our poorest counties, which they can't legally do. Maybe a "Three Day Special Military Operation" with a victory parade involving an inflatable Larry Bird, followed by Illinois retaliating with a pincer movement to take Northwest Indiana and claim the entirety of the Lake Illinois shoreline complete with an oil refinery and "Nissan" Steel. ;)"
[22:15]	MinceR	:>
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Once we secure "Nissan" Steel we'll have Nissan by the balls.
