With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Audio and summary 
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.
I hereby support a progressive tax and the adoption of Arizona’s very progressive tax rates as follows:
2.59% > $0
2.88% > $10,179
3.36% > $25,445
4.24% > $50,890
4.54% > $152,668
What do you say, flat tax advocates? Shall we follow Arizona’s progressive lead? At these rates, how could you possibly say no?!
The devil’s in the details. If the question is “Would you support a progressive tax if it meant you would pay more in taxes?”, I doubt you’d get 70% support.
