Sen. Bill Brady On Property Tax Relief And Making The Case Against A Graduated Income Tax – WCBU

On the graduated income tax proposal, Brady says: “Pritzker has sold it in a way that some people might believe—and he might even believe. But the truth of the matter is, if you look at the history of politicians, particularly Democrats, you’ll find they are more than willing to reach into the taxpayers’ pocket and take more money,” Brady said. “And there were other circumstances surrounding his election victory. Gov. Pritzker spent a record $180 million on his campaign. Gov. Rauner spent less than $50 million. It was a very lopsided appeal. “I believe the voters will reject—when they’re informed about the risks of this alteration—I believe voters will reject it. The question is, can we overcome the Pritzker money when it comes to messaging the truth about this alteration?” Brady said.

Once again, for the middle class, it doesn’t matter whether the progressive state income tax becomes law, because IL desperately needs huge amounts of money to feed the high salaries/pensions/health care benefits machine,. If the tax becomes law, the middle class will be screwed, either immediately or eventually. If it doesn’t become law, the middle class will be screwed because the Dems will generate additional revenue in other ways; e.g., raising the flat tax rate. Relocation out of state seems to be the only way to stop the continued abuse of the IL resident by the Dem pols.

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
