Bill to tax global profits from Illinois meets opposition protesting ‘double tax’ – Center Square

State Sen. Robert Martwick told the Illinois Senate Revenue Committee it is time for businesses to pay high taxes just like his neighbors do to fund public education. “Can’t you just do the same thing? Can’t you invest in my children’s education?” Martwick said. Martwick said Illinois is not properly funding education because it is crushed under massive pension debt.

Bobby Martwick knows nothing about nexus law. Bobby is an expert in how to drive taxpayers out of Illinois.

Bobby wants to reduce corporate tax receipts to zero from the companies that simply abandon Illinois.

Not funding education because of massive pension debt? What is Martwick doing about pension debt except increasing it with his police and firemen bill expanding pension debt in Chicago? Ever heard of amending the IL constitution to restrict pensions? Besides, can see huge lawsuits finding such taxes unconstitutional.

Pension costs are driving the lust for money and destroying the Illinois economy in the process. That said the unions still want more and more money, when is “enough is enough?”

“Enough is enough” when everyone else’s income and asset values decrease or stabilizes while mine keeps growing—the thought of almost everyone everywhere.

Democrats do not want the public educated. That way citizens are easier to control.

The LOTTERY was sold to FUND PUBLIC EDUCATION!!! Then the State took the money and put it into the general fund to use as THEY SAW FIT .
