* From Illinois Leaks…

With all the class warfare going in with the Governor’s race and millions being spent on attacking success (as if that’s a bad thing), I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of success the current governor has had in the private sector.

Turns out- Quinn’s private sector success is… ZERO! That’s pretty scary.

* The blogger took a look at the governor’s economic disclosure reports (which can be viewed here) and found…

* Governor Quinn claimed no business ownership in any entity doing business in the State of Illinois in excess of $5,000 or dividends in excess of $1,200

* Claimed he has no business ties to professional organizations in which he was an officer, director, associate, partner or proprietor or served in any advisory capacity which derived in excess of $1,200 during the previous year […]

* Claimed he had no capital gain of $5,000 or more in the past year […]

* Claimed he has no ties to any business entity that did business in Illinois that earned income in excess of $1,200 […]

Having absolutely no private sector experience, the contrast for governor is stark. From humble beginnings, Rauner is highly successful. Gov. Quinn has no concept of wealth creation, job creation or the fundamental principles of how capitalism has made America into the greatest nation in the history of the world.

It’s definitely an interesting twist on the current debate.

…Adding… Quinn does have some private sector business. He ran a property tax law firm for several years in between government stints.
