Jabba Lies Some More
He gets fact checked, an amazing process the media has only just discovered, that can be applied to Illinois democrats:
- Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is mounting a full-court press to overhaul the state income tax, and critics are equally aggressive in trying to stop him. That’s led to a lot of questionable claims on both sides about the financial upside of Pritzker’s plan to switch Illinois to a graduated tax from a flat tax.
Pritzker fired yet another volley recently during an address before two big business lobbying groups that oppose his plan. The case he made for a graduated tax, which the governor calls a “fair tax,” was one we hadn’t heard before.
“States with a fair tax create jobs and grow their economies faster than we do,” Pritzker said.
It’s not our role to weigh in on the merits of the graduated vs. flat-tax debate. But in the past we have fact-checked sweeping assertions from both sides that failed to measure up on closer inspection. Pritzker’s recent claim, we found, doesn’t hold up much better.
Illinois Policy is attempting to throw up roadblocks and they need people to get involved:
It has to be filed before 1600 hours today. Every name counts.

Can I get a witness?
My God..when you people understand politicians are liars, liars, liars..There is no such thing as honest politician or, if there is, is being eaten alive by others. No decent, honest man will go to politics for one reason. He knows it's a mud and will not get dirty. I am surprised some of us still get disappointed.
He’s a democrat. The truth means nothing to them. If his mouth is moving, he’s lying...or eating...or both.
Concerning state funds. How much unused cash is buried in moribund agencies that serve no purpose? Can the state tap into the 2 billion dollar surplus sitting into Illinois Tollway accounts that is somewhat re-plenished on a daily basis? Couldn’t the state borrow Tollway monies at a cheaper rate than issuing bonds through Goldman Sachs and selling them on the open market? Just wondering.....
"SPRINGFIELD — Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday briefed lawmakers on a proposed capital improvements plan that calls for spending $41.5 billion on transportation, education, public health and other infrastructure projects over six years, funded by a host of new or increased taxes and fees." (Source: southern.com)
JB, did you pay attention during arithmetic class? Don't spend more than you take in and you won't have to raise taxes and fees. And don't forget the parable of the disappearing toilets.
Worth noting that Minnesota and Wisconsin owe most of the cited economic growth to people and businesses fleeing Illinois and Michigan. But hey, that outflow of money can totally be fixed with more taxes and fees!
“Revenue & Finance Committee Committee”
WTF?
Honeybucket pritzker is an expert on taxes, we know this because he is under federal investigation for not paying his share of them.
Witness Slip submitted. But just to clarify, we are to oppose Quimby, correct?
Expect this to be jammed through at 11:59 pm on 5/31 by the GA
This will get it on the ballot and not make it law until the citizens vote it up or down in the election so at least there is a fighting chance to beat it
Did it. Really easy.
Biggest liar we have ever elected, Blago got 14 years for dealing with this criminal. But hey, abortion’s will be available
Higher taxes with no controls on spending.
That's what Illinois voters wanted. And that's what they will get.
He's a fat progressive billionaire democrat who never worked a day in his life. ♠️

Whats to investigate? He was caught..He admitted to it and claims he even paid the feds back..so isn't that an admission of guilt? The rest of us would be punished big time but this
asshole gets voted in and gets away with corrupt bullshit...what a fucking state we live in!
When the situation is going to Hell in a handbasket, the sure-fire cure is to double down on the policies that have been failing so far.
The first step to getting out of a hole is to put down the shovel and quit digging it deeper.
Fair Tax = Bait and Switch
They start with a teaser rate (taxes increase if you make over 250k) then the hammer drops where anyone with a job will be considered rich.
J-Bloated known as a tax dodging untruthful man who doesn't have any credentials to be in his current position.
Fair tax is everyone paying the same percentage. He and his ilk are DESTROYERS.
This opens the door to further destroying the middle class.
Communism always has two classes, the upper and lower.
This is commissar who wants to buy his staff paying them more than the official state salaries. I believe this guy is bad news with bad intentions.
What has this man ever accomplished other than showing no willpower to stop gording himself. Not my kind of leader.
JB Phatback knows his money is stashed away safe from local taxes as does many his wealthy pals, so not much push back from them.
The rest will have to depend on write-offs and phony charities to hid money. Everyone else pays up, gradually.
Democrats want a fair tax will solve the revenue problem since cutting spending never was brought up.
Won’t cut, diminish or alter the entitlemints, uh-uh.
What’s unfair about everyone paying 4.95%...it’s one of the lowest in the nation.
Shouldn’t the tax code be changed to stop hiding deductions first?
Graduated income taxes, the two highest is Califorinois highs to 13.3% and Hawaiinois go as high as 11%.
Shithole Democrat run Oregon, Minnesota, Jersey, NY and DC also in the top ten.
You can see where IL is headed...but it still has to pass the legislative vote before it goes on the ballot.
IL can’t afford more businesses leaving the State as their home base.
JB may not see the kind of infrastructure money from DC that the undocumented hawaiian sent here.
Forcing JB’s pork sausage fingers to cut spending isn’t going to happen.
Plan B: I think the pension taxing would have a better chance of passing across the board and that’s been on the burner of many for years. Let’s see if the teachers will balk at that plan.
A billionaire trust fund baby is the last person in the world who should be making tax laws.
I remember when they started the tollroads. Swore up and down the tolls would never go higher than 25 cents, and that when the bonds were paid off, the roads would be free.
Since then, I have heard dozens of promises about taxes. None have been true.
Who is funding those commercials which endorse a "Progressive Fair Tax" targeting the rich. Who would invest in getting this message out and what exactly is their motivation? It seems that some dark force is behind these commercials. Soros or the teacher's union? Anyone know?
And a ‘fair” & “progressive” tax on the rich proposed by a multi-billionaire governor who removed his toilets to make his mansion uninhabitable to cheat local government of their well deserved excessive property taxes benefitting underfunded public education and underserved children. Wanton and willful Tax Evasion defrauding government to the tune of $330,000.00 U.S.C. That can fund a lot of school lunches for those urban children who are unable to learn because they arrived at school hungry. These hungry children demand taxpayer funded nutritional sustenance provided by connected contracted food providers. Shame on our uber rich 1% robbing, lyin, cheatin governor. It’s an impeachable offense when you for deny your government just compensation by deceptive and yes criminal means.

Oh BTW..how to recognize when politician is lying?
The moment he/she opens the mouth
I find it unconscionable that those in the blue jackass party seem to get their rocks off raising taxes.
People are literally fleeing the state getting the hell out of here, then you look at our city with him once proud city of Chicago with all the corruption all the crime the most corrupt in the entire United States of America think about that our county the most corrupt our state almost No. one and corruption the only cure is a federal swamp draining. If the federal authorities don’t do anything here the taxes will continue to rise the politicians will continue to steal and it will be business as usual. This summer promises to be hard how many people will be murdered how many people will be maimed? Lori Will make sure there are boots on the ground she’s going to make sure that you will be out of the beat cars stopping crime it’s going to be what it supposed to be you’re making a lot of money time that we have to do the job if you don’t like it it’s time for you to resign and get another job that would be equal to your pathetic college diploma.
Don’t cry when you’re being asked to work you’re making a big salary we all make big money, there is no other other job and that you could get with your college diploma they could pay you anywhere near this amount of money and you would actually have to work and work hard many many hours at a salary and no overtime and a lot harder to get the benefits. I like it when coppers come on here and talk about how great it is to work in the suburbs and leave the department here go ahead you will see how trapped you will be, At least working Here if you don’t like it you can bid out and go somewhere else and have a totally different experience you work somewhere in the suburbs a small town it’s going to be like that and that’s just how it’s going to be
Ooooo! saw the trust baby in front of a sign stating 97% will get a tax reduction.
stupid asses will fall for it.
Our neighboring states with graduated state income taxes actually provide decent services to their citizens. Since Illinois is effectively insolvent, and cannot even pay its bills to its vendors on time, we are never going to get comparable services here.
I'm moving out of this doomed state just as fast as I can!
Why is Jabba pushing for a pension holiday they are already underfunded? Tax pensions and cap them at $100,000 no 401scam.

I agree 100%. I am sick and tired of all the stupid fucks who keep voting in these fucking democrat assholes in ever increasing percentages. Anyone with a half of brain knows that they will increase taxes on the lower and middle class working stiffs in a few years after this bullshit is passed. I hate this state and all the asshole voters. Honestly, are people that stupid? They act like voting for a fiscally conservative Republican is akin to supporting rapists and murderers. People in this ass backwards state will just keep voting in the same pigs who keep stealing money from them legally through the law (but through immoral lies). Do people honestly believe that taxing ONLY those who earn more than $250k (which is only 3% of the Population) will be enough to satisfy the never ending greed of nepotism and awarding big contracts to connected friends will ever be enough for these hogs?
Our Governor is a lying communist and will eventually support higher rates on the middle class. I hope all the cops earning $90,000 or more will love the higher rates in about three years.
Earning $250,000 is only the top 3% - will the rates stop here? Why not put the progressive rates in the state constitution? Oh yeah, because the state legislature will raise them on everyone later.
Why doesn’t that fat pig Governor release his tax returns? If he wants us to share in the pain I would like to know how much taxes he paid on his Illinois return. Probably not much since his money is stuffed in trusts outside Illinois. Keep voting democrat! They really care about you.
Illinois will loose many of their start up entrepreneurs - “Get the fuck out” will be the new IL battle cry.
Tip of the iceberg - higher gas taxes, car registration fees and other taxes are coming.
Keep supporting the democrats! They will ask the middle class to pay their fair share with eventual higher progressive rates - I will be laughing my ass off in another state when they do that in a few years.
to answer the above question, j.b. is personally paying for the tv ads for the fair tax. madigan got a real sucka with this pig. mikey, im bored being rich and eating all day and having to listen to my wipers complain about the stank. i want a legacy! any legacy! well j.b. i can make you any official you want to be! but youll have to pay for all of it! all of it! oh goodie, this is going to be great. and that kids, is how we got governor flounder. historically, odds are his legacy will be the federal pen in the blago/ryan wing. at least he will be able to lose a little of that stubborn baby fat unless he moves a couple million into his commissary.
"...Why doesn't that greasy fat pig Governor release his tax returns?..."
Because he's a Democrat, that's why. Our Illinois Democrats are some of the loudest whiners about President The Donald not releasing his. Not a peep from them over this. Typical Democrat double standard.
We all know how the Game is played: starts with the $250k earners this year; bar gets lowered every year after until we all are paying higher rates.
Our Overlords: The Federal Reserve, have already instructed Illinois to raise taxes, including those lush pensions:
