An ad I wish Pritzker would run
"Yes, I want to raise income taxes on some people. I want to do so for two reasons: First, a flat 3% paid by everyone, whether you flip burgers or are a CEO is unfair. Second, Bruce Rauner's fiscal irresponsibility -- let's not mince words, Rauner's refusal to act like an adult instead of a child having a tantrum -- has put the state finances in a terrible condition. Raising the state income tax is necessary to fix that. I didn't cause that problem, Bruce Rauner did. But I promise you that if you give me the chance, I'll do my best to get us out of it.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
