A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Illinois does not know what cutting taxes means.
FYI: Federal Judge appointed by Trump put a injunction against the Schumer-Pelosi-Biden film-flam of not allowing Federal taxpayer bailout funds be used for tax cuts!!! So Illinois becomes more extreme of an outlier as many states, in particular free and prosperous Red States, will use Biden’s illegally obtained and unwarranted bailout for tax cuts! At least taxpayers in those states will get some of their tax dollars back!

One of the first lessons for freshman congressman; never talk to or share confidential information with anyone from Illinois they’re all thieves wearing wires and can’t be trusted.
In Illinois we have a predatory government that exists to feed itself with the citizenry’s hard earned money and to use these funds to pay for their stormtoopers at AFSCME, IFT, SEIU and CTU. Everyone else should just shut up and pay their taxes.
