Commentary: Tax the super-rich? Not if Illinoisans distrust the government. – Chicago Tribune*

Andy Shaw: "That killed Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s graduated income tax amendment in 2020, which a majority of voters saw as a blank check to the Springfield sinkhole, and that skepticism hasn’t faded. If anything, it’s gotten worse."

What? Thousands of high earners have already left Illinois. Theyb have been replaced and welcomed to Illinois by Illinois leaders buy illegal immigratnts pay no taxes. Guess who is left to pay? Distrust in government has never stopped Illinois government from finding new ways to tax its citizens.And Illinoisans keep on reelecting those who tax us the most.

Skepticism of JB the Hutt and his fellow political animals is directly caused by the actions of JB the Hutt and his fellow political animals. The Hutt and his fellow kleptocrats have proven time and again that they are poor stewards of confiscated taxpayer funds and have no right to more.

Get help. Your TDS is acting up. Again.
