Illinois Supreme Court strikes down Amazon tax but the damage is done

Tax and spend Democrats in Illinois have succeeded in driving more jobs from Illinois, even though the uncontitutional tax they enacted has now been stricken by the Illinois Supreme Court --

Illinois Supreme Court strikes down Amazon tax - chicagotribune.com: "To avoid having to collect sales tax upon virtual checkout, some large Internet retailers, including Amazon.com, cut ties with affiliates in Illinois, which one trade group said numbered about 9,000. After the law passed, some prominent Illinois-based Internet businesses, such as CouponCabin.com and FatWallet.com, fled to Indiana and Wisconsin rather than be cut off from commissions from Amazon.com, Overstock.com and others."

When will the hogs at the public trough realize that more tax and spend will drive away those who are most productive?
