Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Not to forget the massive looting of the Federal Treasury that was the Autopen’s Covid spending. That plus JB the Hutt’s big fat tax hikes simply fooled the blind-as-a-bat credit rating outfits. When JB the Hutt frequently runs out of other people’s money to spend, he simply gets his bought-and-paid-for rubber stamp legislature to steal even more from taxpayers to make up the difference.
The exodus of the tax base is The Hutt’s idea of “leadership”.
