Joe Walsh’s Take on How to Save Illinois

On his web site Walsh Freedom, former Congressman, now talk show host Joe Walsh outlines steps to save Illinois. I have to admit that he is more optimistic than I.

I think Mike Madigan, while a consummate politician, must take blame for the downward spiral of Illinois during his decades-long rule.

In any event, here’s Joe Walsh’s prescription:

How To Save Illinois in Eight Simple Steps

  1. Eliminate the individual state income tax and the state corporate tax.
  2. Give every parent in the state a school voucher to send their children to whatever school they want to send them to — public, private, religious, or home.
  3. Place every government employee on a defined contribution, 401(k) style retirement plan.
  4. Begin immediately tapping into our natural gas and oil reserves.
  5. Eliminate township governments.
  6. Give every law-abiding adult the right to carry a concealed weapon.
  7. Have a federal prosecutor investigate how Michael Madigan and his legal clients have benefited financially at taxpayer expense from his role as Speaker.
  8. Tell Judy Barr Topinka to retire.

In his Quincy Tea Party appearance, Walsh says, “We have lost Illinois.”

Joe Walsh’s Take on How to Save Illinois — 7 Comments

  1. Get madigan and quinn out of office and do not elect another madigan to office.

  2. This guy- who can’t support his family or meet his mortgage payment is going to “save” Illinois?

    As an politician he’s a joke but as a joke, he’s pretty funny.

  3. Eliminate the individual state income tax and the state corporate tax. So there is no tax revenue, how does that work out?

    Give every parent in the state a school voucher to send their children to whatever school they want to send them to — public, private, religious, or home. A voucher is worth as much as your bank accoount Bill, I mean joe.

    Begin immediately tapping into our natural gas and oil reserves. Corporations are already doing this.

    Eliminate township governments. And replace with what? Oh, nothing, like what roams in joe’s skull.

    Give every law-abiding adult the right to carry a concealed weapon. How does this help? What a pandering moron.

    Have a federal prosecutor investigate how Michael Madigan and his legal clients have benefited financially at taxpayer expense from his role as Speaker. They will if they get enough evidence.

    Tell Judy Barr Topinka to retire. Who are you to tell someone voted in to retire?

    Sorry but a bankrupt, irresponsible born again d-bag who is delusional believes he he has answers regarding fiscal responsibility doesn’t cut it in the adult world.

  4. Mr. Walsh,

    Last week you listed several supporters of Mike Madigan that your listeners need to know.

    I caught part of the list but could write down any of the names.

    Do you have this list somewhere on your site?

    I agree that to curtail Madigans power short of voting him out of office(fat chance) his supporters should be outed to the general public.

    Without that support, Madigan’s power should be reduced.
