Illinois is losing tens of thousands of families and business owners. Never in history has the out-migration rate been so high. JB Pritzker and Democrats need to realize Illinois is facing a major out-migration crisis. However, Pritzker said that Illinois will always attract new businesses and families due to the great cities, counties, landmarks, universities, and other amenities. Experts and analysts disagree. Many analysts and economists say the heavyset governor is in a state of denial and Illinois can be facing a serious financial collapse in the coming months.
What Is Pritzker Thinking
Many Illinoisans are confused about what Pritzker is trying to accomplish. This holds especially true with well-known economists. It is no rocket science that by increasing taxes, there will be a decrease in hiring activity by small business owners. High taxes also means lower wages and reduced spending. So why is Pritzker pushing so hard in changing the state’s flat-tax to a progressive tax system when the Illinois economy is so fragile. Many small businesses are already setting plans to move out of Illinois to other tax-friendly states. Pritzker does not seem to understand this and is in a state of denial.
See the image below:
No tax hikes in the world can fix Illinois’ financial crisis. The state has been plagued with incompetent and corrupt politicians. Voters need to elect competent and honest politicians who can run the state as a business. Politicians need to realize they cannot spend more than they bring in. This is exactly what is happening now in Illinois. JB Pritzker is absolutely clueless and many think he is dangerous due to his incompetency. The number of families and small businesses escaping to other states with lower taxes and lower cost of living is alarming. Many homeowners in Illinois do not see their homes appreciate in value due to having the second-highest property tax rate in the nation. Voters need to get out and vote in the next Illinois election. Vote for an honest and competent governor and politicians.
