Pritzker, a Democrat, highlighting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/californias-big-cities-see-significant-population-decline\/\" title=\"California\u2019s Big Cities See Significant Population Decline\">significant population decline<\/a> in Illinois under his governance. Pritzker, who began his term in January 2019, saw over 142,000 people leave \u2062Illinois between July 2021 and July 2022, a drop only surpassed by New\u200b York. Trump disparagingly compared Pritzker to Chris Christie in terms of appearance\u2062 and criticized his business skills as perceived by his\u2062 family.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Sunday, former President Trump targeted Illinois Democratic governor J.B. Pritzker, who has been considered a <a href=\"\/\/99A6E61D-298C-4381-BBD0-B0D7107881D8\/v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rising star<\/a> in the Democratic Party but who has presided over the state while natives flee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pritzker was inaugurated as governor of the state in January 2019; between July 2021 and July 2022, over 142,000 people left Illinois. The only state that had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/taxes\/commentary\/why-are-people-fleeing-illinois\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">faster rate of population<\/a> decline during that same time period was New York.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSloppy J.B. Pritzker, the Rotund Governor from the once great State of Illinois, who makes Chris Christie look like a male model, and whose family wanted him out of the business because he was so pathetic at helping them run it, has presided over the destruction and disintegration of Illinois at levels never seen before in any State. Crime is rampant and people are, sadly, fleeing Illinois. Unless a change is made at the Governor\u2019s level, Illinois can never be Great Again,\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/112626680945709862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pritzker has a massive $52.7 billion 2025 spending plan that will require enormous tax increases of an estimated $898 million. Illinois currently has the second<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-targets-j-b-pritzger-presided-over-the-destruction-and-disintegration-of-illinois\/\" title=\"Trump Criticizes J.B. Pritzker: Claims He Led to Illinois' Downfall\">-highest corporate income tax rate<\/a> in the country. He wants to extend extension of Illinois\u2019 cap on net operating losses, which would raise taxes on companies losing money, as Bryce Hill, Director of Fiscal and Economic Research with the Illinois Policy Institute, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.illinoispolicy.org\/pritzker-wants-to-spend-record-amount-but-needs-898m-in-tax-hikes-to-do-it\/\">pointed out<\/a> in a comprehensive piece about Pritzker\u2019s 2025 budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pritzker would \u201ceffectively raise taxes by $186 million on retailers,\u201d Hill noted, adding, \u201cRetailers now retain 1.75% of the sales taxes for collecting and sending them to the government, so long as they properly file and pay their applicable sales taxes by their due dates. Under Pritzker\u2019s proposal, the value of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">tax credit<\/a> would be capped at $1,000 per month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hill asserts that Pritzker\u2019s 2025 budget proposal includes \u201ca hidden $93 million income tax hike on individuals. He will get that money by shortchanging the inflation adjustment to the state\u2019s standard income tax exemption. \u2026 the state\u2019s current standard exemption for tax year 2024 is set a $2,775 per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/treasury-secretary-janet-yellen-we-have-to-consider-rising-inflation-rates-when-doing-stimulus-package\/\" title=\"Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen: \u2018We Have To Consider\u2019 Rising Inflation Rates When Doing Stimulus Package\">income taxpayer<\/a> and dependent. Pritzker wants to reduce this exemption to $2,550 per income taxpayer and dependent \u2013 a change that would only account for one years\u2019 worth of inflation adjustments instead of the two taxpayers are due.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, former President Trump criticized Illinois Governor J.B.
