Commentary: Illinois Shows Americans How Bad Taxes Can Get – Daily Caller

"As poorly as government leaders have treated taxpayers, they have gone on to impose more hits with other local taxes to the point that Illinoisans now shoulder the nation’s highest state and local tax burden, taking 16.5 percent of the median income, or $12,479 a year. Pre-Pritzker that household was paying less than 15 percent, or $8,330. That is $4,149 more during the Pritzker era."

What are the chances any of the so called journalists in Illinois ask JB about having the highest tax burden in the country? This entire charade of an administration is protected by the media. The extreme leftist Northwestern Medill school of journalism is a joke.

Or ask JB who they’re going to tax when the COVID $bucks$ dry up. It’s going to be a disaster….EQUITY!!!
