Has Pritzker earned a third term?

I read about Pritzker preparing to run for a third term or a run for president. I also hear many who say he is doing an excellent job. In my mind the proof is in the results and the Illinois results are astonishingly bad. Illinois has the second highest property taxes, the second highest gas taxes, the highest cell phone taxes, the second highest corporate taxes, the lowest bond rating and the lowest % of state pensions funded of all states. While we rank seventh in our overall tax burden, it seems very likely to change under his control as we still are not solvent as a state and individual taxes will rise shortly as he runs out of other things to tax.

He is another extraordinarily rich person who has bought his way to two terms and now wants to buy his way to a third term or the presidency. I cannot believe voters in other states would look at Illinois and say we want to be like them.

Why would you move or keep your business in Illinois where you and your employees will be exposed to these tax burdens?
