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’d prefer that our well-nourished gov. just use some of his vast wealth hidden in offshore trusts to pay my portion of the progressive tax on my behalf. Illinois has 17 billionaires. tax all of one billionaire’s money each year for the next 17 years and no one other than the billionaire has to pay increased taxes! This sounds absurd? Not as crazy as the ‘fair’ tax sounds to the middle class!
