Always remember, when Ken Griffin asked Chicago to make the area around his offices safe for his employees, Lightfoot and Pritzker said no.when Griffin said Illinois should be more business friendly, the said no.
When Griffin finally said he was leaving, Pritzker said good riddance. Ken took at least $200 million of annual tax revenue with him to Florida.
Pritzker and Illinois democrats just don’t care about the legal citizens of this state.
They care about power, funding their corrupt co conspirators.
Government unions with a pension, underfunded by $145 billion, and growing each year. They want to funnel more cash to a corrupt teachers union so they can continue to turn out kids who cannot think or read, but love communism. They love crony capitalism to help their friends get rich on the backs of the citizens.
Sure he did. It’s all good, spending nearly a billion on illegal aliens and the Obama library is in the city’s and state’s interest. Chasing out over $500 of annual tax revenue is fine, as Pritzker said “good riddance”. Bowing to the corrupt teachers union to raise more taxes, no problem.
All the while complaining about Trump. While the once great state of Illinois and city of Chicago sink to new national lows.
Bill, nice idea. But with many Islamists who come to America not to become Americans, but to overthrow our republic. They are at war and use Taqiyya, lying to conseal their true intentions.
John Adams said “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Many mosques in America preach the overthrow of the Constitution. The democrat party is willfully supporting these people who are invading America.
So what is a real plan. I worked in Egypt in the late 80s and all my associates were Muslims. They were great people, but it was obvious change to a different form of Islam was starting. They were worried.
Am I a Islamophobe, well as Christopher Hitchens said 15 years ago. “ Islamophobia is a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons”.
@JeanneIves Yes, let’s provide more funding to the corrupt communist teachers union so they can continue to indoctrinate our children. The last thing they want are kids with critical thinking skills.
@PaulVallas Paul, it’s all Trump’s fault. That is what Pritzker likes to advertise.
All the governor knows to do is chase out businesses, chase out high income taxpayers and raise taxes.
@thehoffather Always remember the what Christopher Hitchens said 15 years ago, “Islamophobia. A word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons”
@ConstitustionX Yep. But you don’t have this level of government fraud without politicians and bureaucrats being involved. So when are these politicians and bureaucrats going to jail?
Illinois is on a death spiral and this is just another example. Pritzker is just managing and accelerating the decline. There is no growth and more companies and high income earners are going to leave.
The revenue gap of $500 million will grow. Without attracting new businesses it is inky filled by new taxes. The unfunded government pension liability of $150 billion will only be filled by yet more taxes.
Printer’s legacy is a bankrupt state while his family’s wealth grows.
@jrizal1957@KurtSchlichter Let’s also remember how Iranian socialists, communists and liberal nationalists were instrumental in that overthrow. Yet once successful the Islamists consolidated power and arrested, executed or exiled said socialists, communists and liberal nationalists.
