We have a tax addiction in Illinois.
Thank JB Pritzker.
An 18-year-old is kidnapped from a Chicago park, executed, and left in a bathtub by Tren de Aragua.
And JB Pritzker thinks we shouldn't work with federal law enforcement?
🚨 BREAKING: TRUMP JUST DROPPED A NUKE ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP! 🔥

All it takes is CONGRESS PASSING THE LAW to slam the door shut on this invasion loophole forever!
“Trump’s efforts to reverse birthright citizenship may succeed with or without SCOTUS” — the man is UNSTOPPABLE! 💥
This is our last chance to save America’s future.

Steve Hilton: "I was in Texas and we filled up with gas in Texas $3.59 On Monday in Los Angeles $8.59 that's not Trump, that's not the Iran war. That is 100% Democrat policies in California ⛽️
.@GovPritzker is proving once again why he's the tax king. His latest budget includes $800 million in new taxes, and now he's even trying to tax fantasy sports. Illinois families are taxed out. #twill
BOOM 💥
Bears great Brian Urlacher rips Pritzker
You look at the money given to Illegal immigrants, where it's like ($2.5-to $3B) they could've used that money to keep the Bears in town, not for people who's not supposed to be in our Country
Illegals first.. Chicagoans last
Another Pritzker budget, another plethora of tax increases.
Pritzker’s eight new tax increases will take another $800 million from Illinois workers. This brings JB’s total tax and fee increases to 65, amounting to $8.5 billion annually, leaving Illinois residents paying the highest taxes and fees in the country.
Effective state and local tax rates totaled nearly 17% for a median Illinois household last year, compared to the national average of just 11.02%. Unbelievably, that is even higher than No. 2-ranked New York at 14.95%. Meanwhile, Illinois property taxes have increased by $11 billion, or 33%.
Illinois’ economy has performed so poorly that nearly all revenue growth used to fund the state’s ever-expanding government has come from tax increases rather than economic growth. In fact, since Pritzker took office, almost all employment growth has been in government jobs.
Illinois residents—particularly middle- and upper-income earners—are voting with their feet. Since Pritzker took office, Illinois has continued to lose residents, while the state’s population decline has been offset by a surge in migrant arrivals, which some estimates place at more than 500,000 people. Surveys also show that roughly half of remaining residents say they would leave Illinois if they had the means to do so.
💥The Taxpayers Get Screwed Once Again In Illinois!
Senator @AndrewChesneyIL speaks in disgust on the budget bill as Democrats once again pass record spending while the taxpayers sleep.
At 3AM, the Senate passed this coming year's state budget with $800Million+ in tax and fee increases. This marks 7 years in a row of JB Pritzker raising taxes on working families - with this budget bringing the total number of tax increases under Pritzker to OVER 60!
Have the people had enough yet?!?!
@Miller_Congress@SFC_Network@ILGOP
8 years. 8 budgets. 8 rounds of tax hikes on the people of Illinois.
This isn't a responsible budget. It's austerity for working families. Extravagance for Springfield.
Illinois under Pritzker:
📈Highest state and local taxes in the nation.
🏚️Highest property taxes in the nation.
🤑Highest spending increases in the nation since 2019.
💳Highest pension debt in the nation.
1⃣4⃣0⃣Only state with more than $100B in state pension debt.
😟Lowest bond rating in the nation for 13 straight years.
🐇Most units of local government in the nation.
💰One of the highest sales tax burdens in America.
💼One of the worst business tax climates in the country.
Gov. Pritzker keeps patting himself on the back for “balanced budgets,” but every year the trick is the same: squeeze taxpayers harder, raid funds, feed the spending machine, then declare victory. That’s not fiscal discipline.
That’s gluttony in government form: taxpayers pay more, Springfield spends more, and politicians call it balance.
Illinois is becoming a business killer, and Chicago is becoming a small-business killer.
DraftKings announced it will close its Wrigley Field sportsbook on May 31. In a statement published by the Chicago Tribune, the company pointed directly to Illinois’ tax policies as a major reason for the decision.
“While we are proud of what we have built alongside the Chicago Cubs, we are taking a more focused approach to where we invest in the state. The cost of operating in Illinois, including its high tax structure, makes it more difficult to justify continued investment in a standalone retail sportsbook.”
The “high tax structure” DraftKings referenced includes Illinois’ per-wager tax that took effect on July 1, 2025:
• 25 cents on each of the first 20 million online sports bets annually
• 50 cents on every online sports bet after 20 million wagers
When businesses openly cite taxes and operating costs as reasons for leaving or scaling back investments, Illinois leaders should pay attention.
Every time a company closes a location, reduces investment, or chooses another state, it impacts jobs, economic activity, and future opportunities.
The question Illinois taxpayers should be asking is simple:
How many businesses can Illinois afford to lose before elected officials realize that overtaxing employers comes with consequences?
Welcome to Illinois where politicians keep looking for new revenue while businesses keep looking for the exit. 🌹📉

Back when Chicago was great. Donald Trump singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at Wrigley on July 9, 2000. We need him in Illinois to do a rally in Cook County for Darren Bailey. Let's make Illinois great again and flip it red.
🚨WOW! Trump brought a woman to the border whose skull was cracked by an illegal alien in San Francisco
The illegal was released from prison by District Attorney Kamala Harris
This is incredibly powerful
