Illinois is not back

Posted July 13, 2019 1:00 am

I really wonder if people pay attention to political candidates' agendas.

J.B. Pritzker ran his campaign telling the voting public that he was going to raise their taxes, yet he still got elected. the same old democrats keep getting elected. Astonishing.

Why do hard working middle class people have to help fund the pensions of police and fire departments?

I don't get a pension, I have to plan and save for my retirement, which is increasingly difficult when I keep getting taxes raised. How much more can they take from my paycheck before I can't afford to live in Illinois anymore?

It's no wonder people are fleeing the state in record numbers because they can't afford to live here anymore. We're becoming the next Detroit.

Also, let's turn people into stoned degenerate gamblers by adding more casinos and legalizing pot to raise revenue. The state's falling apart.
