Madigan's New Solution
- Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan declared Wednesday that the state income tax rate should be raised back to at least 5 percent to help balance the state's out-of-whack finances.
In doing so, Madigan potentially gave new life to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner's argument that Democrats are to blame for the stalemate in Springfield because they're intent on only raising taxes to dig out of the state budget deficit. That's likely to be a GOP attack point in next year's House and Senate campaigns as Republicans try to cut into significant Democratic majorities.
It's a "one solution fits all!" typical of democrats nationwide. First claim you can't tax your way to prosperity, then proceed to raise taxes on everyone, hopefully to make your family/business connections prosper.

madigan does not care about Chitcago or Illinois. All he wants to do in line his pockets and the pockets of The Machine.
CUT SPENDING - ACROSS THE BOARD.
That is the solution. 20% out of every agency and department.
If the department head can't do it - cut them. If they can't find 20% in their bloated budgets, might as well cut them out of their bloated salaries because they have demonstrated they don't have the skill sets to be paid what they are getting paid.
Too draconian? Not for Illinois, the land of bloated government and patronage jobs.
What happened to all the money they got from doubling the fees on all the Tollways?
This POS, along with "Dirty Little Richie", form the most compelling local reason for TERM LIMITS. Not to mention that his adopted daughter is the Illinois Attorney General.
"Power corrupts. Absolute power totally corrupts."
At a government level, it is far easier to raise taxes than it is to cut spending. It is easier to spread the money around to favored groups and buy more votes and political power that way. It's the democrat way.

Five % Rauner was making more than double that in fees with the CPS teacher pension fund Rahm gave him prior to his gubernatorial run. How the phuck we got stuck with these bookend ass clowns?
Instead of raising taxes lets get rid of some of the dead weight politicians who keep wanting to raise our taxes on everything
Madigan skeleton looking man stop thinking your job is for life it's time that you leave . Term limited is necessary for every politician !!!
Madigan , Fullerton , Rainer must get recall of mayor passed , this is very important .
Why is there never talk of limits or cuts on Welfare? Years ago you had to hope that the church or some soup kitchen would feed you. Hope many public aid homes today have you seen where they're all living quite well? A time limit of 5 years and your done getting aid would help save a lot of $$
Put the blame on the South Side 7 month births that keep electing this little weasel so they can insure their "spots" and get jobs for their lazy ass family members. And to really make us look like chumps he puts his daughter in as AG. 40 years this creep has been raping the state. Where's the RICO statute? JUSTICE FOR ALL MY ASS. ♠️
The Machine's answer to everything is to raise taxes.
Madigan and Cullerton wanted to add 4 billion dollars in additional deficits to the state's budget this year. Instead of trimming costs they want to raise taxes. Rainer told them no more budget deficits.
I don't know why manages to stay in power. Most of his 22nd district is hispanic. A bunch of old ladies vote and keep this guy in power. Gee, another tax from a career politician.
Is cutting spending part of the equation?
Madigan's a Big Piece Of Shit , PERIOD ,That bastard needs to Retire . Hes a Republican in disguise. He helps NO ONE but himself and the Political Daley Machine They ALL have to go . Lets start Cleaning House now that the Daley Crime Family has been Cut Down Some . Piss on all of them . What comes around Goes Around
Does this mean no takers?
Illinnoyed.
The democrats never met a tax they did not like or did not hike!----- Reagan said this back in 1963
What a novel idea...... tax and then tax some more!
Where does this douchenozzle think we're going to get this extra money to pay for his tax increase? Our wages sure as hell aren't going up. It's time for term limits.
Madigan is the poster child for "Two Term Limits", no pensions and then hit the road!
End career politicians, NOW!
Slavery means to force someone to work without compensation, except as the punishment for a crime. These raised taxes are for expenses occurred by others is slavery, pure and simple.
Hey Lisa ahh over here your after police with tenacity how about doing your job investigate daddy and his people? You pick on and go after societies protectors who prevent total anarchy what does your office do? How much does it cost? How many are clouted in? Is membership in political organization required to get good job in your office?
His name is spelled wrong. The proper spelling is MADIGOON.
What a joke Madigan is! The guy has been in power forever and that's why Illinois is a mess. The one to blame is him and his fellow fools. Even a fool knows that's way too long for one man to be in charge. Its obvious hes not interested in fixing the state. He's got to go. Madigan is the problem.
Madigan and Madigan the Biggest Problem in this Shit State,She and Daddy Wont go after Crooked Political Friend's...
