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.
Amanda Vinicky, typing on behalf of Wilmette Talking To Winnetka and the Illinois Democrat Party, regurgitates the desire for the day drinkers of the Civic Federation to raise taxes on the already overtaxed Illinoisans. The drinkers even admit that Illinois has too high a tax burden and that it’s one of many reasons why Illinois ranks high in the list of states losing resident. Their solution? Get rid of layers of government? Cut spending? Nope.
More taxes.
When the last productive taxpayer leaves Illinois, please turn out the lights.
In short, TAX the people of Illinois MORE.
In the end it doesn’t matter what the tax is called, Illinoisan’s are just taxed more.
And the more taxes the more that leave.
