@GovPritzker Sure. We believe you.

@JBPritzker You can’t keep lying to people. No one believes you.

@RepThomasMassie Give @GovPritzker a call. He might give you some millions for your next campaign.

.@GovPritzker did not "eliminate" his planned gas tax hike, of course. He delayed it until after his election.

What makes this lazily fallacious tweet even more egregious is the fact that Pritzker has quietly squeezed Illinois drivers every year since 2019, and he made it so state lawmakers don't even have to cast a vote to make it happen!

In addition to doubling the state gas tax from 19 to 38 cents that year, he also implemented yearly inflationary gas tax increases that occur every July automatically.

There is no expiration date on these tax hikes. By 2056, the statewide gas tax could exceed $1 per gallon, which is five times higher than before Pritzker took office. Meanwhile, lawmakers get to avoid casting unpopular votes, dodging accountability from taxpayers entirely.

Not to mention, federal data shows fewer Illinois roads are considered "acceptable" now than in 2015, before these massive hikes began.

Who is still falling for this stuff?

Illinois lost $5 billion to COVID fraud. Dead people got paid. Criminals got paid. All Pritzker has is excuses.

@JBPritzker Why don’t you give back some of the money you have stolen?

@JBPritzker @TheJusticeDept When will this thief get investigated and sent to jail?

You're gonna want to be sitting down when you open your energy bill for June. Electricity rates in Illinois went up more than 15% yet again on June 1st.

Turns out decreasing supply by closing cleaner natural gas plants too soon while increasing demand with data centers leads to skyrocketing costs for working families, small businesses, and manufacturers.

Who could've predicted that? Many of us did. For years. But Pritzker cared more about lining up talking points for his national ambitions than helping everyday Illinoisans.

BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.

Americans work 40+ years…

Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.

Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.

Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.

Read that again.

The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.

This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.

Who comes first?

The taxpayer… or the system?

@publicpolicyman Maybe Pritzker will steal the property and turn it into a Hyatt hotel.

🚨0 DAYS. 🚨
According to federal prosecutors, a former Chicago Housing Authority official allegedly accepted $421,000 in kickbacks tied to public housing contracts.
The Illinois corruption clock has been reset. 🔄

🔥 SC JOHNSON FLEES CHICAGO: 170 Jobs Gone to Wisconsin as Illinois Collapses 💥
From Windex to Raid — America’s 139-year-old household icon is done. The family giant is relocating 170 employees, joining Boeing, Caterpillar, Citadel & countless others in the GREAT CHICAGO EXODUS.

Illinois has lost businesses for 31 straight years. Chicago faces a $1.15 BILLION budget hole + crushing pension debt.

Downtown is bleeding stores and offices.

Gov & Mayor’s answer? More taxes. Result? More companies bolt.

This is what high taxes + failed governance does to a great city.

Tired of politicians killing local jobs?

BREAKING: Illinois Democrats have officially solved poverty.

Not by creating jobs.
Not by lowering taxes.
Not by making it easier to afford groceries.

By... changing the definition of "low income."

When fewer people need food stamps, normal people call that progress. Springfield calls it a budget emergency and spends taxpayer money figuring out how to count more poor people.

This is the Illinois Blueprint in one sentence: If reality doesn't fit the narrative, change the math.

They opposed work requirements.
They opposed No Tax on Tips.
They opposed No Tax on Overtime.

You have to admire the commitment to the bit: The goal was never to reduce dependency. The goal was to manage it forever.
