Instead, they continually try to impose new taxes and enforcement to sustain a system that cannot be maintained. Once we reach a point where the government realizes that this is a failed system, then and only then can we hope for change. The American Dream of homeownership is being destroyed in Illinois. There is just no chance for change until it results in major civil unrest.
