I want to cap property taxes at 1% of what you paid for your home.

For many Illinois homeowners, that's $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, even $6,000 back in their pockets every year.

The American Dream is owning your own home.

Not renting it from the government forever.

[Illinois Policy @illinoispolicy]

Fifty years ago, Illinois politicians made a promise to taxpayers:

The tollway system would eventually become free.

Instead, it’s become a permanent, multi-billion-dollar cash cow. And now, they want even more.

Here is what the @GovPritzker-appointed @ILTollway is pushing for 2026:

>A massive 45-cent hike on passenger tolls, driving the average to $1.24 per toll.

>A 30% rate hike on commercial vehicles, which already sit at an all-time high.

>An extra $1 billion extracted from drivers every single year to fund a $26.5 billion capital plan.

>A permanent inflation escalator starting in 2029 to keep costs rising automatically.

The worst part? The Illinois Tollway is taking in more toll revenue than ever before. They are collecting far more than they need to operate and maintain the roads, with net revenues peaking in 2024.

Since 1973, Illinois taxpayers have poured at least $27 billion into these plazas.

Why are we paying for infrastructure that was supposed to be paid off decades ago?

So you can be forced to wear a uniform with a values statement you disagree with in MLB, but you aren’t allowed to state your disagreement with the values? The clear solution here is just wear normal uniforms and stop pride nights. It’s counterproductive at this point.

[Tyler Lalagos @TylerLalagos]

Good perspective

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Your home should not become a lifetime lease from the government.

Property taxes should be capped at 1% of the purchase price.

You own your home. The state doesn't.

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?

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

The Chicago Bears say they are leaving Chicago, likely moving to Hammond, Indiana

The team says they can not afford the cost of taxes imposed by Democrats

They would be set to pay $53 million in taxes per year on a stadium if they stayed

Mayor Brandon Johnson is lobbying against The “Mega Projects” Bill and without this bill the team would pay $53 million per year in taxes on a Stadium in Arlington Heights

Because of this, moving to Arlington Heights isn’t an option and I’ll most likely leave for Indiana

The taxes in America are so beyond out of control it’s insane. We need a complete reset in this country

Nearly $27,000 a year for family health insurance premiums, up from $6,000 in 1999.
And that’s before deductibles, copays, and surprise bills.
The system is fundamentally broken.

@jonbrooks What’s the chart look like going back to 2005?

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is being RIPPED for telling America, "we can't arrest our way to safety" during teen takeovers

WTF?!

"We ask police officers to do TOO MUCH."

Is he serious? He thinks the current Chicago crime wave is police being "TOO TOUGH" on thugs

What a disgrace for a mayor.

Wake up, Chicago!

🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget

"The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars."

"We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."

This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

Breaking: Illinois drivers are getting hit with another gas tax hike on July 1.

The state gas tax officially will climb to 49.6¢.

That’s a 161% increase since 2019.

USDOT says our roads haven't gotten better.

Where did the money go?

[First Lady Melania Trump @FLOTUS]

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

[Patrick Bet-David @patrickbetdavid]

Hey @jimmykimmel, what is funny about this?

Joking is one thing, but wishing death on the President by telling Melania “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow”?

That’s not comedy, that’s dangerous rhetoric.

We’re better than this.

@TheAlphaThought How does $12,000/year signify financial freedom? Not to mention you still have to get to $300k equity position

[Illinois Policy @illinoispolicy]

ICYMI

In 1953, Illinois politicians famously promised that roads would be "Toll-Free in '73." But since then, Illinois drivers have paid nearly $27 billion in tolls.

Now, state leaders are pushing for the largest passenger toll hike in Illinois history.

Here is what you need to know about the proposed $1 billion toll tax hike:

>Passenger tolls could jump by 45 cents, raising the average cost to $1.24.

>Commercial truck tolls could increase by 30%.

>Starting in 2029, tolls would automatically hike with inflation every two years.

>The tollway has collected nearly $20.7 billion more than it needed for maintenance since 1973.

>Over $3.3 billion currently remains unused in the state's Road Fund.

The tollway authority took in a record $1.44 billion in 2024.

So why the hike?

Because it was a political reward to labor unions for supporting a Chicago-area transit bailout.
