    See what happens when you don’t contribute to the right political campaign fund?

    I betcha they’ll listen the next time around.

    If PBO (Prez Barack Obama) is going to turn us into a third world country, we might as well begin to conduct business like they do in third world countries, eh?

    Oh get off it Delight. Nice to see those who openly violate employment laws so openly embraced by others.

    Perhaps a Republican administration would simply do away with all oversight and let business sort itself out.

    Oh wait…..Enron, Sub-Prime Lending, Swaps… Yup, perfect examples.

    No Thank You.

    Rather have the laws enforced in both a swift and vigorous manner!

    This happens in about 75% of construction projects. The workers are paid cash. If the Atty Gen audited general contractors, plumbers, electrician, masons and ventilation contractors she could resolve the state budget crises.

    If the wk comp rates in Illinois weren’t some of the highest and the employment taxes super high as well, maybe employers would play fairly.

    But with our tax and spend state government, small employers don’t have much of a chance.

    Add to that the strangle hold of unions that screw the small guy and yes, use union dues to help the Dems, why be in business in Illinois?

    These guys can’t do public jobs for awhile. Wow, I want to do work for the state and not get paid for it cuz I do it for the fun of it.

    Maybe the AG ought to go after her buddies for stiffing so many businesses!
