Funny thing about the voters in Illinois, besides having an I.Q. of 5 they seem to like to elect their governor by the pound. The only honest thing about J.B. Pritzker is fat, fat, and more fat. Honest because his size represents his budget. No cuts anywhere just lots and lots of taxes, taxes and more taxes. Hey it costs money to shelter and hid Illegal aliens, about 2 billion dollars at last reckoning.
President Trump hit the nail on the head when it comes to Jay Pritzker, “The Pritzker family is glad to see J.B. in politics that way he can’t mess up the family business”. To my knowledge he has never held any real jobs. Oh sure he held a law degree but that means nothing these days aside from being able to do obnoxious commercials on T.V.
The only thing his law degree does for him is help his skirt the law. Toilet gate is the prime example here. “The inspector general’s report found that now-Illinois First Lady M.K. Pritzker ordered the removal of five toilets from one of the family’s Chicago mansions shortly before an inspection, in order to declare the home uninhabitable. An email between contractors showed M.K. wanted to reinstall one of the toilets after the inspection to service J.B.’s “hangout/meeting area.” This dance allowed the Pritzkers to reap more than $331,000 in property tax breaks.”
For years the Democrats have used the teachers union for votes. Like Hollywood, in Illinois there are a few conservative teachers. If they dare put out a yard sign during an election for a Republican they will have all hell to pay. Democrat yard signs are fine and encouraged. In exchange teachers pensions are contributed to by taxpayers. In short I can’t contribute to my own retirement plan because by the time I pay my property taxes I have nothing left. Eventually these teachers will retire at a higher salary than when they were working for 9 months out of the year. Nice gig if you vote the right way. But that is Illinois.
There are no cuts in Fatslob’s budget just taxes, taxes, and more taxes. His latest is to attack any of us on a pension by taxing that fixed income. Eventually this will probably drive most of us out of our homes. I am sure in Fatslob’s eyes that is all good because in anticipation he signed into law the assisted suicide bill. That shows his total disregard for human life.
What he has in bloating he makes up for in morality. He has none. Abortion bill, signed into law by J.B. Pritzker, legalize pot, signed into law by J.B. Pritzker, assisted suicide, signed into law by J.B. Pritzker. We won’t even mention harboring criminal illegal aliens to the tune of 2 billion Illinois dollars, dollars which are coming out of real citizens pockets. President Trump in his first term, donated his presidential salary to worthy causes, mainly help for the military. He continues to do this in his second term. Governor Fatslob recently won well over a million dollars in Vegas recently. Rest assured the only charity he will contribute that to will be long grove fudge shops like that 500 fudge order he made there on his last Campaign tour.
Governor Fatslob is an innovator, the only governor of Illinois to drive the bears out of the state to Indiana. I don’t blame them and hope the do move, take the cubs with them. The bears new Arlington heights complex would be a boom even with tax incentives. Construction, property tax then yearly employment of staff. Jobs for Illinois citizens. I am hoping for the Hammond bears that’s for sure just to expose Pritzker for the incompetent fool that he is. I wonder how many business will follow. I know I will take my company with me as well.
Here are some other back breaking items he want to add to the Illinois budget.
– $1 surcharge on all tolls (Not approved, by a 45 cent increase per toll was approved)
– $1 delivery charge for items delivered to people’s doors for orders that exceed $100
-$1.50 per package delivery tax. (still under consideration)
– 25-cent increase in CTA fares for trains and buses in the City of Chicago
– 10% tax on all rideshare trips (Uber, Lyft, etc.)
– a ticket surcharge of $5-$10 on event tickets
– 25% surcharge on tolls to be paid one time per day
– fee of 3-cents per kw/h tax on electric vehicle charging at public charging stations
– new real estate transfer tax of $1.50 per every $500 for all property sales in the collar counties (Cook County already has this tax in place)
– new tax on services (haircuts, oil changes, car repair, etc.)
– payroll tax (head tax) for those working in the City of Chicago
– Increased speed camera usage in the RTA Region
– new tax on vehicle sales
– An increase in the RTA sales tax paid in the RTA region (PASSED)
Then there was the way he masterly dealt with the scamdemic. Everyday day he would come to his podium wearing his mask, then removing it so we could hear the great orator. Each time he opened his fat trap it was bad for business. He almost killed the Restaurant business allowing only 50% occupancy. Any restaurant owner will tell you that does not even cover the overhead. During the scamdemic’s height all high school sporting events were ordered cancelled except for one. Equestrian. Ya know why? Because that was the sport his daughter participated in. It was also hard work destroying Illinois during the covid days so he and his wife had to take a break and retreat to their equestrian estate in Florida while the reset of us were under house arrest. Now out of springfield its all in the past so lets just forget it. No! No! you don’t, actions have consequences.
Problem is here the urban areas of the state, especially the Chicago area where I live are the brain dead Illinois voters. Not really their fault, just a perusal of my neighborhood they all suffer from TDS (Trump derangement syndrome). How dare Trump comes in here and trys to clean up Pritzkers mess!!!! These are the same people who march for no kings and in Illinois yet they vote for one for governor anyway. Their own Henry VIII there is even a resemblance so History does repeat itself!
I am third generation Chicago born. Great Grandmother lived thru the Chicago fire. Almost all my relatives are still here, unfortunately, since I am the only conservative in the family and they are all woke, very woke liberals who continue to vote for this garbage and flaunt their ignorance. But now I had enough, I can’t afford to live here any longer. 2026 has to be the escape. An escape to a state that, unlike Illinois, actually care about their citizens. I need to get this done ASAP while my house is still worth something and I have something left to buy food after they steal it all in taxes. In this case parting is NOT sweet sorrow.
