Gov. JB Pritzker

It could be, but instead it's Donald Trump's personal secret police.

Well, that's why we have to stop.

We have to honestly, I believe you are right.

Incrementalism.

That's why I think, you know, whatever we want to call it, Project 2029.

I'll use that term because everybody knows what 2025 was.

I mean, that we have to have our own and that it is no longer acceptable for us to just do it in increments.

It means, listen, I, in my state.

I am.

I said all along, when I was running in 2017, 2018, and I've said it ever since, that I'm trying to lower taxes on the working class, on the middle class, and raise taxes on people like me.

And I spent, just so you know, not only did I campaign on that and win in 2018, but I spent, it's very hard, we have to have a constitutional amendment in Illinois because we have a flat tax.

In our Constitution, I spent $55 million of my own money fighting for a referendum to to on the ballot to get a graduated income tax.

Oh, by the way, on the other side of that, writing a similarly large check, 50 plus million dollars was Ken Griffin.

You know, and people on the far right, these are like hedge fund, you know, right wingers and who, by the way, defeated it.

And so we cannot be apologetic anymore.

I mean, we cannot.

I mean, I've gone great guns, you know, to make sure that the wealthiest people in the country are paying more than, like I said, you know, than a secretary or than a firefighter.

But we get we got to stop pussyfooting around.

Well, maybe I'll go back to what I've had it with.

I've had it with people who say they love America but seem to hate Americans.
