Gov. Pritzker, worth $3.4 billion, reported $6 million in taxable income for 2018
Tuesday, Oct 15, 2019 - Posted by Rich Miller * From the governor’s campaign…
He didn’t include the tax returns for the trusts. I asked about the $1.8+ million “subtraction” to their state taxable income, which is supposedly on a “Schedule M” that wasn’t included. I was told by a spokesperson that this is “federal taxable income from other states that is deductible in Illinois.” He’s apparently done this on previous returns.

Tax returns don’t disclose your assets. This is why I’ve always thought the idea that Trump didn’t want his tax returns disclosed because he was afraid they would find he wasn’t that wealthy to be misguided. And when you have a lot of trusts that pay for various things, the 1040 is even less revealing.

Headline says $6 MILLION in taxable income but he paid $5.3 and $29 million in state and federal taxes?
Seems like taxable income figure is low.

The TRUSTS paid…. My bad. So Sorry.

You buried the lede
Combining the trusts with personal income totals $11.3 million, which would make him the 9th highest salary on the Cubs, even though his personal fortune is $3.4 billion dollars.
If JB’s assets wealth were a pension fund, the taxable income would be 1/3 of 1%.
JB is a fatally flawed messenger for the wealthy paying their fair share, he doesn’t.

Obvious campaign headline here in the next cycle.

Are you advocating for a wealth tax?

… and you think labor makes “too much” in prevailing wage.
You’re a strange bird;
The wealthy needs to pay more, organized labor needs to make less.

Trust income has be declining. It’s a sign of old wealth. Capital Gains income inn the form of carried interest is sign of Wall Street. It seemed to be most of Rauners income.

Why doesn’t he put his money where his mouth is and donate the $2.8 million to Illinois? Or at least to a relevant charity?

The Pritzkers already saved The Ounce of Prevention for Diana Rauner and Illinois from Bruce Rauner.
That’s putting money and mouth together. The symbolism alone is noteworthy.
