Jim Dey: "When people enter and exit a state, they don’t just take their personal property with them. They also take their taxable earnings. Studies have shown that those moving out have higher incomes. The Wirepoints study noted that when Illinois loses a higher-income taxpayer, 'his income isn’t just lost for tax that year,' but 'every subsequent year.'"
Dey isn’t doing socialist/ Marxist math: Screw the taxpayers out of all you can until they leave. We got as much as we could out of them and there’s the added bonus of handing the underserved their homes for a dollar when enough of them leave. Like the lady at Medicade told me when I inquired about my status “ There’s always more money ( laughter)!” Such is the mentality.
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.
