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.
It’s starting. Voters-taxpayers-municipalities will be held hostage unless progressive tax is approved. The next in line will be that the lower class and lower middle class will be targeted in ads before Nov that if they vote for the tax they will receive “enticements” in school funding-benefits/etc while the rich will pay “More”. That segment is a large voting block probably very uninformed about the real truth. Everyone will eventually pay more in higher costs of goods and services if passed.
