CTU Wants Taxes Raised
Anything these assholes support, we're against:
Their budget is already $7 billion and they spend it like drunken sailors on shore leave and it still isn't enough. If they get their hands on any part of another $3 billion? What the CTU (and Putzker) aren't telling you is that taxes are going up on anyone (or any household) making $250,000.
A cop married to a teacher is getting pretty close to $200,000. With overtime, they could be in dangerous territory.

These teachers and this union make me sick
If groot had balls she would tell them to pound sand and cut staff since kids are not in school.
groot has no balls and will give them everything they want.
There is an election to be stolen, no need to piss off their voters.
What would Chicago's STUDENTS do with an extra 3 billion dollars?
We'll never know, since they don't get any of the current $7 billion.
rb
Smaller class sizes to single out kids and drill socialism (literally with the sexual misconduct we saw) into the kids. I mentioned here yesterday that these socialist start off a new with a huge tax increase
And when the millionaires flee, who pays then?
Chicago Public School budgets should have been slashed 6 months ago.Would some strong Republican please step forward and outline why we should be cutting all tax money that is being sent to the Chicago Public School System.They have been shutdown for over 7 months now.Why are any taxpayer dollars being wasted on paying CPS Teachers and staff to sit at home?
It’s outrageous in what they demand and what they have done. They should be defunded if anyone.
im an older guy. my family has been in illinois since the potato famine. public service for the most part. traveled the world in my younger days. always proud of my hometown. and where are you from they wouldsay? chicago ! eyes would widen and they would say al capone ! yup, and dont you forget it buddy. now ? i am so embarressed to say im from this shithole, we have sunk so far we will never recover. now people laugh at you and say what ? is that the place with the freak pygmy murder queen and the two ton pugsly governor ? wtf is wrong with you people, i would never live there, dude gtfo before the natives kill you ! now after 70 years i have to make up a new home town and backstory thanks to these fucking criminal democrats ? anybody got any suggestions ? boil sucker from oklahoma ? pig farmer from iowa ? undertaker from new orleans ? anything will get more respect than a taxpayer from the dark land of shitcaga hellinois. help me out kids i need a new identity .
Crazy. Last one turn off the lights.
Well, at least they'll have a hand in screwing themselves by raising their own taxes, which they'll then, threaten to go on strike if they don't get a raise to cover the increased taxes. Someone needs to fire them all. They're terrorists at this point.
Nowhere does it even state what the rates are. Nothing is set in stone even remotely. Those are political promises....not a part of any law pr in any way connected to this back door way of opening the constitution. They will be able to do whatever they want and tax anything at any rate they want. Vote no as if your future and your kids future depend on it.
Aren't these the fuckers that just wanted to cut their work day to 4 hours? But get paid the same? So they could have more "free time"?
LOL... Never give degenerates more money:
* Spendthrifts (Democrats, CTU...)
* Gamblers
* Drunks
* Addicts
Promising the same things they promised thirty years ago.
Vote No on the tax amendment!
Vote No to retain all 60+ judges! Save the taxpayers their salaries of $202,433.00 each. They are not working anyway,
And what they’re not telling you is this tax referendum will open the door to taxing retirement income, and giving the governor the ability to raise taxes without approval from anyone, and to lower that 259k threshold to 200k if they so choose etc etc etc. So go ahead illinois voters, give these thieving dems free reign to make Illinois, the worst fiscally run state in the country, the chance to screw the middle class even more.
Fuck the COMMIE bastards!
As a former drunken sailor well acquainted with shore leave, I take offense. My money was always well spent.
Of course they want to raise taxes since they know that means more money for them to steal. Smaller class size the got since the last report I saw said 50% of students not E learning.
This is why I remind people that either union or where both spouses work that they are hardly financially considered middle class. But dont take my word for it, research it.
MORE money?!
They’re not doing any teaching.
How about LESS money and pay cuts? Then go ahead, call a strike. No one will notice.
Don’t kid yourselves. People in New Jersey said the exact same thing you are saying here. Then they discovered it really meant everyone pays higher taxes after it was implemented. Yeah...keep telling yourselves that...those making under 250k will not see a tax increase...lol. You are deluding yourselves and you will see after the moronic voters of Illinois pass this stupidity. Thank goodness I no longer live there.
Says state will raise 3 billion and they just figure Chicago will get it it all. That will be one hell of a selling point downstate
They didn't seem too concerned about the middle class the last time they went on strike.
Tax the RENTERS. Their kids use the public schools.
Now they are putting the message on FB saying the local schools support this abomination!
the liberals ALWAYS overstep their bounds... saw it in the 60's where they attached 'free love' to the anti-vietnam thing, now they attach chicks w/ dicks to the gay marriage thing, they attached LGBT to the anti-cop thing ... you get the picture
hey, we were all on your side when FLOUYD got crushed, now, not so much (but it was NEVER systemic racism- whatever that is)
They are simply following the Communist agenda of their masters. Good doggie. Good doggie.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Wait a minute! Putzker said the tax would only affect billionaires. Now CTU says millionaires. Slippery slope. Next it will be the middle class.
Vote no.
And when the millionaires flee, who pays then?
That's easy. The middle class. Because shit rolls downhill. No way, no how are the 20 billionaires (half of them Pritzkers) in this sick state gonna hold that bag. They have write offs and losses to offset taxes. Middle class can't even write off property taxes. There you go. VOTE NO.
There are ONLY 18 Billionaires living in Illinois and Fat Ass and his family make up 4 of them so Taxing these people wont go very far will it GROOT ?
Not just getting close to 200K but if this passes pensions will get taxed, don't be fooled by the media. VOTE NO
How do you afford living in this city if you don’t make a combined $250k now? Between mortgage tuition and day to day bills you better bring in $250 or more if you want to eat meat a couple of times a week. Vote no on tax referendum it will increase taxes on everyone.
And I don’t want to hear about the tuition thing anyone who sends their kids to CPS is a fool. You’re actually allowing them to teach your children to hate you...
The fair tax is just more tax. Fatass has raised every tac and it's still not enough!
And this, boys and girls, is why Oklahomans put the assessment multiplier (11%) and the increase cap (3% on homestead, 5% on all else) in the state constitution so the pols can't fuck with the numbers when we aren't looking.
We also have a requirement that ANY tax increase requires a 60% super majority.
We like our pols, but we're not stupid enough to blindly trust them with our hard-earned cash.
Not only tax your retirement money as was mentioned here, but they can add layers of income. The city can tax your income, the county, etc. So, maybe the state won't raise your taxes (ha...yeah right) but the other folks certainly will. Anyone who falls for this is stupid. And the fact that this all stems from one of the richest people in the state who did all he can to avoid paying more taxes (toilet anyone) and then turns around and says the rich need to pay more WITH A STRAIGHT FACE. You can't make this up....
These “scholarly educators” have been crying the blues about reducing class size since 1965. All the while total enrollment has dropped by about 200,000 students. They’ve quit the the classroom for easy gigs like counselor, community relations coordinators, human relations coordinator, and get this, Disciplinarian (male and female). On this 71st anniversary of the communist take over of China, its comforting to remember that the teachers they didn’t shoot were sent to the fields to work on farms. I feel I’ve hit upon a solution to the forest fires!
That tax increase will just go into the general fund; the CTU fools no one.
Were I a millionaire (well first of all I wouldn’t live in this shitbox) but if I was a millionaire in IL, I would be closely watching this. Should it pass, I quickly would no longer be an IL resident. Even if I stayed, I’d easily be a resident of any other State (at least on paper) in which I owned property. Thus obviously these amazing savings will be passed on down the line to the middle class. Drives me nuts how IL Democrats can be so short sighted and they root for this crap!? Morons!
Taxes in Illinois went up 2 billion the year JB was elected Governor. They added taxes to everything, it did not help and that money was swallowed up in the dark hole of more spending. Unless there is significant reform in government in this state, there should not be any more tax increases. Pouring more money into the dark hole of public education is not the answer unless there is reform and that has been proven over and over again.

But, the penicillin shots were free from the Corps man
How about taxing the Wealth of Jessie Sharkey and his commie wife?
Only 18 billionaires in Il,
Hey Super Zero how about doing something about the 605 murders. You are in the wrong costume. You are better suited for wearing your Murder Queen outfit, after all you are the Murder Queen of Murder City.
One of the biggest ways for CPS to save money and put it back in the classroom is the bidding process for construction work on fields, buildings, playlots, etc.
Right now, a company offering the most work and goods in their bid for the lowest price tag generally wins the contract. But, not one mother fucker...not in the mayor's office, attorney general, FBI, Dave Savini, or anyone else has questioned or even noticed is.....
Why isn't anything being done to stop the winning bid company from notoriously going over the accepted bid in overages or add-ons by 25%-40% or CPS allowing millions of dollars to be added on job without any kind of public vote? In the end, a company with the lowest bid will go over the highest bids.
Lake View high school initially had a bid of $16M on it's renovation costs, then BOOM!!!! the amount of the work increased to $23M
https://www.cpsboe.org/content/actions/2017_12/17-1206-RS1.pdf
A construction company with the winning bid for Taft high school's new athletic field initially had their $2.5M bid accepted by CPS. Then, there were add-ons to the bid after the company had won the bid. Lights, bleachers, and letter and logo stitching on the field. All these add-ons put another $1M on the bid without a vote and only a nod by CPS Law and Procurement.
In contrast, the Park District put nearly the exact same field as Taft's with the add-ons by Taft's other school in the Dunning neighborhood for the price tag of $2.3M.
The add-on work to the renovation on Eckersall Stadium is legendary in terms of going over the bid. Have an FBI or ATG pal looked those numbers up.
Once the ATG or FBI starts tracing these bids and the process by CPS procurement, you'll see ties from the likes of Pedro Soto Jr. and Arnie Rivera to Danny Solis to Ed Burke and back to CPS Law and Joe Moriarty
Drunken sailors stop spending when they run out of money. CTU and the government just spend more.
The vast majority of them don’t even live in the city. They don’t give a shit about your taxes. When you run out of bread they’ll expect you to eat your cake.

Go on shore and spend your paycheck and gloat about it and the fun you had....now u spend 3 times your paycheck on taxes and then some— and you ain’t got shit to tell about it
Oh, my, oh, gosh, an old man here. I wasn't, and am not very smart, and surely not the kid sitting in the front row waving my hand in civics class yelling "I know, I know."
The auto shop is were I hung out, learning a trade I never used.
But even now, after so many years of killing brain cells with gin and whiskey, I can still remember the discussion of the ratification of the "soak the rich" 16th Amendment. The idea was to tax the rich, starting they placed a 2% tax on everyone making over $20,000 and a 7% on those making $500,0000. Most people made less than $500 and fell in the 1% bracket.
Ah, but it was a trap. There is something call inflation. In a few years, as wages rise, more and more people will be classified as wealthy, and be subjected to the tax.
Those Democrats, like the commies, take the long view. You'll all be paying in a couple of years.
That's 20$k student sportsfans. Not quite DC inefficiency, but almost. Feeding children into that meat grinder should be a felony unto itself. Send that 20k$ with the kid and get some private education for half the cost. Of if you're insistent on playing political games, send the money to St. Ignatius, or one of the other well connected schools.
Fat Ass lies and can't be trusted. He is billionaire toilet tax cheat - that says it all
Vote No.
The CTU better watch how far they push their agenda. Some enterprising companies are going to come along and completely revamp how education is delivered and put them out of business. And it couldn’t happen soon enough as far as I’m concerned..
CTU = Communist Teachers Union. Cut their salaries, benefits, and pensions NOW.
$250k just get's his foot in the door. Every state that has a progressive tax structure has lowered the taxable income level as soon as the new tax is passed. In less than 5yrs, the progressive tax will effect anyone earning over $50k. Count on it.
This is "tax the rich" rhetoric used by progressives to raise taxes on everyone.
Words of advice; GET OUT OF ILLINOIS!
Fire up the boiler and burn those textbooks, school as we know no longer exists.
CTU already have those item included in their last contract.
What they delivered since is zero...for decades, epecially now that they are on a 3 hr er’learnings StayAtHome program.
• Are those skool nurses, counselors, social workers that got, are they making home visits or are they StayAtHome paid advisors also ?
• Are those empty classrooms small enough yet?
• Sustainable community skools ... like all of them expensively retrofitted with air conditioning for one or two months in the empty, shortenEd school year?
• How much improvement has been made with special ed, anyone can have learning disorders.
• And why stop at bilingual when they can demand more global trending languages.
Oh, and the significant wage and benefit increase...it’s all for the StayAtHome Kids.(Did you know a second year teacher making $52k will achieve a $72k salary by 2024, that’s a 35% pay hike...for the Kids.)
$10 Billion would never be enough for CTU-CPS.
Their next Contract is 4 years away, why wait until the last minute?
Useless overpaid underworked cry babies just do what you’re paid to do they work harder trying to figure out how to do less smmfh
The number of millionaires and billionaires in this state is very small and raising taxes on those folks won't even put a small crease in the state's bloated budget. Remember, this isn't taxing people sitting on millions in savings or other assets. It's about taxing people generating millions in annual income. Very few families have taxable income in the millions of dollars annually.
This was always about going after successful middle-class families and small businesses. The tax increases will hit families in the low six-figure range very quickly and by design.
Like everything the democrats put out, it's a huge whopper of a lie, start to finish.
Results matter not, I guess.

People also ask
What is the NJ income tax rate for 2019?
New Jersey Income Tax Rate 2019 - 2020
Income Tax Bracket Tax Rate 2019
$80,001 to 5.525%
$150,001 to 6.37%
$500,001 to 8.97%
$5,000,001 to 10.75%
Starting at $80,000.00 with a rate of 5.25%. Just a little info on tax Rates in New Jersey. Probably what would be to come in Illinois in a very short time.
This was the only state I checked with the "Progressive TAX." Didn't want to waste my time on the others.
A cop married to a teacher might be approaching that phony threshold, but a cop married to a cop is already there, thanks to mandatory overtime and days off canceled. Add into that the fact Pritzker & Company really just want to change the base tax rate and get their paws on pension-taxation money.
You'd be a loon to vote for this.
Teachers get a 16% raise and extra benefits and no work no show jobs!similar to this watch this teachers same thing but at least they showed up unlike communist pos teachers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49H_PsDoLDY
So they get the biggest scoop of the ever higher taxes,don't work the mayor is literally scared and terrified to criticize them,as they "give back" via campaign contributions via your tax dollars major RICO case here feds! Plus 90% of city haul at home,full pay and benefits plus pension contributed to!
All the while police are busting their asses first from the riots,and all the murders and ventilation and being put down by the mayor and rest of the evil democratic cabal, did the mayor,crimesha,Toni,any of the moronic aldermen visit the morgue or hospitals to comfort the families of the dying and wounded? How about the police officers shot,stabbed,beaten,hit with objects? Of course not they are protected 24/7 by armed police with tank like vehicles,driven everywhere the family and friends program,but fuck the police,fuck the taxpayers,fuck the law abiding is what they practice! Praying for the police and the President saying his name President Donald J. Trump who is the only 1 that supports a lawful society!
Such socialist dogma. So millionaires are not paying their share now? The CPS has not minded that their governor has not paid his share since he has been in office? The problem is they want socialism for everyone else. Millionaires, and billionaires have the money to pay accountants to drive their returns through the 747 size holes that are always written into the tax code. I am not familiar with the taxes in Illinois, but I can do math. For instance 10% of a million is $100,000 in taxes, while 10% of $100,000 is $10,000. It is the same mantra everywhere. The flat tax is as fair as you can get if you make it mandatory with no deductions. making people pay the same rate, which is fair, does not mean they pay the same amount. Look how many generations live off of public money and never once contribute to their own living, at least legally.
help me out kids i need a new identity .

Just head to Englewood late tonight with a MAGA hat on, you won't have to worry about anything soon after you arrive.
P.S. Don't wear a watch
Increased bilingual education so the kids can say do you want fries with that in many languages?
Lori wants the state to take over all the city pension funds, probably happen if fair tax passes. Would this Open the door to state filing for bankruptcy?
And here I thought it was so the working poor could pay less - already spending the money before it is passed - none to the working poor.
Uh huh, Yea Fuck CTU.

As it has been stated repeatedly, states cannot file for bankruptcy. They have the option to raise taxes or ask for a federal bailout, both of which will happen with a Biden win.
This entire matter of " paying their fair share" really is funny and a fake narrative. half of this country does not pay either federal or state income taxes, and less then 30% of tax payers itemize their taxes. Most billionaires do not go to HR Block to get their taxes done and use law firms to get every possible write off and dodge. Most of their income does not fall under the IRS definition of earned income and does not generate a state tax, plus they use off shore accounts, such as our beloved governor, who has yet to show his tax returns. All a ploy for the ignorant public who always want something for nothing.
As many others have said, the $250K floor is a hollow campaign promise that won’t last a single session if this referendum passes.
And all you LEO’s who read this, come to Texas! No state income tax and we can always use more good cops. Lots of small city, suburban and rural PD’s and Sherrif’s departments in need. Not to mention we can use more solid thinking folks like you to offset all the California whackos who are moving here with their corporate jobs.
CPS can go f*ck themselves !!!!
Put the teachers on four hour days , 20 hours a week pay , part time employees , no pension .
Sounds like a win , win for tax payers of Chicago .
What?!!! You're telling me taxes would slightly rise for households making 4.5 TIMES the median?!!! That's outrageous.
Probably because they're not paying fair wages.
