On the Topic of Illinois' Debt
A storm's brewing.... Illinois needs to stand up and say, “NO MORE!” No more taxes until the deficit is fixed. Those claiming that more taxes are needed to fix the deficit must consider the fact that we already have the 8th highest tax burden on individuals in the county. They must also consider that our pension deficit is 203 Billion and enacting all of Pritzker’s 19 tax hikes would only bring in 6.9 billion a year. Raising taxes is not a reasonable response to our problems.
