Watch your wallets if you vote for Democrats

I know I'm wasting my breath in this ridiculous state, but here goes anyway. J.B. Pritzker started running for governor saying all school kids should have a free lunch. Just when I heard there was no such thing as a free lunch, he said they should have a free breakfast. Can free dinners be far behind?

The compassionate and generous J.B. also favors expanding early childhood education. But he hates school vouchers and would rather trap some kids in failing public schools, especially minority kids. Solve the problem by throwing more money at them.

J.B. also favors single payer "Medicare for all" insurance. He appears to be the only one who has not heard that will bankrupt Medicare even more quickly than it is going bankrupt right now.

And of course he will raise taxes by changing to a progressive income tax (among other tax increases). Now, if you don't pay the state income tax, you will not get a raise, but if you do, watch your wallet. I'm betting some people will have their taxes doubled. Just watch after you elect him. Of course, the result of this will be an even larger increase in wealthier people moving out of Illinois, even though we are already No. 1 in this category.

You love higher taxes and want even more? Then vote in Sean Casten. He wants higher taxes too. Vote Democrat and watch your wallets.
