On Tax Day, J.B. Pritzker Still Won’t Say How High He Would Increase Taxes On Illinois Families

No one looks forward to Tax Day, but in overtaxed Illinois, it is an especially grim day – a reminder that residents in the state pay some of the highest taxes in the nation.

And if Democrat gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker gets his way, next year’s Tax Day will be even worse. Pritzker has staked his campaign on an “immediate increase” in the income tax that would hit every single Illinoisan.

But Pritzker has refused to give any specifics and say exactly how high he would hike taxes. Reporters keep asking Pritzker what his tax hike rate would be, and Pritzker keeps dodging. At the same time, Pritzker reportedly stashes cash in offshore accounts to potentially dodge federal taxes while taking massive tax breaks on his Chicago mansion by claiming it as “uninhabitable.”

J.B. Pritzker wants to hike taxes on Illinois families but refuses to pay his own. It’s time for J.B. Pritzker to end the hypocrisy, stop dodging, and tell us exactly what his proposed tax hike rate would be.
