* Proft paper…
Republican state Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-Crystal Lake) is taking his fight against Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s graduated income tax proposal directly to the people.
The veteran lawmaker is scheduled to speak at a “graduated income tax rally” hosted by the Illinois Opportunity Project beginning at 7 p.m. on April 29 at the Huntley Park District. Skillicorn is slated to be joined by policy experts Adam Schuster of Illinois Policy Institute and Ted Dabrowski of Wirepoints.
* The Question: Your predictions for “best” rally chants?

Comment by Jocko Wednesday, Apr 17, 19 @ 2:40 pm
To call Skillacorn irrelevant is the nice version.
Be careful 47th Ward when suggesting that the “blaming somebody else for our problems” schtick is only a clarion call for the Republicans. That dog whistle has been a Dem favorite for years.

If we tax 97% of the people instead of 3% they won’t have to take as much from one person since there are 97% more people to tax!!?

A long time ago
When the Earth was green
There were more kinds of animals
Then you’ve ever seen
They run around playing
While the Earth was being born
But the the weirdest of all
Was the Skillicorn
