I just heard an ad on WSCR today for this website: http://illinoisisbroke.com/

Here I find out that I shouldn't be paying state income taxes.

Illinois has 13 Million residents. Only 5% – or about 700,000 of them - are enrolled in the State's pension programs. That means the remaining 95% must pay higher taxes to pay for retirement benefits for that are far more generous than their own and that benefit just 5% of the population. Does that seem fair to you?

Does that seem like a fundamental misrepresentation of what a pension is to you?

And a lot of my taxes pay for roads that I will never use and bridges that I will never cross and schools that my kids don't attend, and...

Washington (CNN) – CNN has exclusively learned that Rep. Michele Bachmann will form a presidential exploratory committee. The Minnesota Republican plans to file papers for the committee in early June, with an announcement likely around that same time.

But a source close to the congresswoman said that Bachmann could form the exploratory committee even earlier than June so that she could participate in early Republican presidential debates.

"She's been telling everyone early summer," the source told CNN regarding Bachmann's planned June filing and announcement. But the source said that nothing is static.

"If you [debate sponsors] come to us and say, 'To be in our debates, you have to have an exploratory committee,' then we'll say, 'Okay, fine...I'll go file the forms.'"

Pollster and political guru Frank Luntz flew to Iowa last month to conduct a survey for Fox News. Twenty-six Republicans, likely to vote in the next caucuses, were shown video clips of 11 politicians who might run for president. They twisted dials, scored from 0 to 100, to rate the candidates. One of the clear winners was Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.

"There's a very strong message that the people want us to hear," said Bachmann-on-video. "No.1, it is get rid of the big spending, which leads to big deficits, which kills jobs. And then No. 2, we don't want the federal government to control private industry or own private industry."

The Iowans couldn't twist their dials fast enough.

Newt came out on top...
