Left the former “Land of Lincoln”
Even though I grew up in Chicago and lived in Illinois for many decades,
it was not hard to move on, since
Illinois has become a high taxation welfare state, with a legacy of political corruption, crime ridden cities and suburbs, and on top of all that, you had cold winters and hot humid summers to deal with.
IMHO no longer “Land of Lincoln”
“Lincoln himself once said, “The worst thing you can do for those you love is the things they could and should do for themselves.” He fiercely believed in self-sufficiency, and in the maturity and character that struggles and hardships can bring.“
