* Background is here and here if you need it. Darren Bailey talking on Facebook…
I’ve been blessed to be able to do these lives with you. I think I’ve been very consistent in my messaging and my purpose. Yesterday, fake liberal news somehow or another assumed that I was calling one of my opponents the devil. [laughs] Just go back and watch it and you make your own decision. I am honored and blessed that that fake liberal media is actually listening. Maybe some of this truth of God’s word will penetrate to their hearts and change change their lives and they’ll start reporting on truth. And wouldn’t that be awesome?
Lying is a sin.
* Speaking of which, before we get into the rest of his remarks, let’s do a bit of basic education…
What is a levy?
The amount of money a school district and/or local government (taxing districts) certifies to be raised from property tax.
* Back to Bailey…
I’m just going to share a little bit of this with you because there’s a lot of it. I ran for state Representative for the 2018 election, I ran against a tax hiker. And I was met with the full force and fury of my own people, my own party who wanted to keep me away because they wanted to keep a yes person. They wanted to keep people in that would raise taxes, would raise gas taxes. And we’ve got some of those people are running, actually, as in Lieutenant Governor positions, people who have raised your gas taxes by 20%. Do your education on these people.
But anyway, just a little bit of what’s going on. Many of your social media outlets were flooded yesterday with posts that Darren Bailey taxed elderly people out of their homes. And as a matter of fact, one of the most egregious fake news outlets and fake news reporters even came down and, and reported such a story. And I would appreciate if you just listen, if you see that story, just listen to it and dig deep into it and really listen to what you’re hearing, because what you’re hearing is not what this person is saying.
How many school board members do we have out there how many people who have served on an on a township board and and on a local community board and from time to time have have passed levies to keep your schools open, to keep certain particular interest open? You know that when you deal with a levy, that you’re not creating a burden, some tax that taxes people out of their homes ,that taxes the elderly, many of you know this and if you don’t go to your go to your county assessor and go and start talking about this, start getting yourself educated on how this works.
Many times the purpose of a levy is to fulfill what has not been promised temporarily and that’s what happened many times on the North Clay School Board. And and I was so honored and blessed by serving with the boards that I serve, we did an amazing job of communicating to the people and let giving them the option. And not just once, not trying to hide it, not trying to hide a tax increase or a levy to say that, you know, the next day people wake up and see this. Now we literally many times every time let people know how much exactly per household, you know, per 100 on your on your assessed value that this was going to cost during my term as they on those days. You can also look back and you will see the real reason why property taxes escalated all over the state. When I got on the North Clay School Board. We were one of the lowest taxed school districts in the state. When I got off, we were still well in the bottom third, but we were doing some amazing things that we were up to the 50% pay range on paying where we paid our teachers and what we were doing. We had an amazing school district but sadly enough, my state representative at the time and state government were failing to give the schools their money, you know, they have the education budgets and and many times at the end of the year, you realize that you didn’t get 200,000, 400,000 and on and there were delays. So the purpose of the levy is to fill that void.
So here’s what I went through, the 2018 election and here’s why, some of the same players are at play. And a little bit later I’m going to begin you know, letting you know who those are because they are players that are sitting in positions of power in the Illinois House of Representatives on the Republican side and they’re doing the exact same thing that they did five years ago and four years ago to try to keep me off.
Our mailboxes were full, I don’t even know which one to start with. [Holds up mailer.] ‘Darren Bailey taxed seniors out of their house 14 times when he was on the school board ,brought to you by the Illinois Republican Party.’ That’s where your money is going. [Holds up mailer.] Gosh, ‘Cash King farm subsidy Darrin Bailey, corporate welfare king.’ Think about these messages that we’ve just heard with the PPP money, with the the USDA assistance from for what you know for farms with and now that we’re taxing people. I mean, it’s endless. I got, here’s another one. Millions of dollars were spent on fliers when I was serving as, as running for this position [Holds up mailer] ‘Bought and paid for by Chicago.’ Gosh, friends, this is what we’re up against. And I asked you to get yourself educated, get yourself informed, please share these messages, push this out. This is how we’re going to do this to where, you know, until this is how we’re going to grow this movement.
Lots of words.
Please pardon all transcription errors.

Levies are not taxes, because good things cost money.
Farm subsidies are not socialism, because they go to their community.
Federal bailouts are not socialism, because they went to keep people employed.
He didn’t call Irvin Satan, just an agent of Satan.
… Sounds legit.

=because what you’re hearing is not what this person is saying=
What? SO he is saying that the listener is not smart enough to understand what is being said when listening to a person’s actual words? Facepalm.
The rest is just nutzo. Desperate false statements. For all of his years on the Board he does not know what a levy is, or he wants you to think it is.
I think he is clearly telling us that if he is governor he will misunderstand and incorrectly interpret any and all information.

“watch it and you make your own decision. ” Have you noticed how many right wing “facts” are presented as “judge for yourself.” TL;DR “Judge for yourself” isn’t presenting a fact, it’s asking me to form an opinion.

Has anyone watched the Righteous Gemstones on HBO? It’s a spoof on a megachurch family. It’s all I can think about when I hear Bailey preach. https://tenor.com/view/righteous-gem-stones-praise-god-praise-to-be-he-gif-15010957

As much of a fool Bailey is, at least he is putting himself in the arena and making himself available to people. Unlike some candidates who run and hide from people and just send out snarky tweets.

Levy, noun: an act of levying a tax, fee, or fine.
Comment by Ron Burgundy Wednesday, Feb 2, 22 @ 11:25 am
It’s very entertaining that Bailey didn’t justify his votes for raising the property tax levy to fund K-12 education by talking about how important K-12 education is and cycling through the standard talking points about wanting kids to be competitive in the modern world and all of that.
“I am proud of my votes to make sure that kids got the opportunity they deserve.”
Also even more entertaining since he is involved in running a private faith based school which means he’s on the record saying bad things about public education too.

Does Bailey believe that actively goading “fake liberal news”, i.e. seasoned political reporters, to dig even deeper into his background will end well?

Never go full “televangelists”
Never-Never.
One you go full televangelist… you are not a serious person… and if you also are explaining… that’s double losing.
Pretty pathetic play.

What’s really frustrating is that there’s a cohort of voters who agree with that.
Comment by Arsenal Wednesday, Feb 2, 22 @ 11:49 am
I was going to post “Bailey is an embarrassment,” but it made me think and realize that, no, he is a standard bearer.
Does anyone from the GOP want to step up and be the adult in the room?
Comment by AlfondoGonz Wednesday, Feb 2, 22 @ 12:01 pm
What a complete & utter load of crap. He’s now completely Trumpian. The only difference is I think he probably believes some of what he spouts.
Comment by Lt Guv Wednesday, Feb 2, 22 @ 12:11 pm
So much talking and preaching. To borrow Bailey’s words…I am so honored and blessed to receive government subsidies for my farm. My hands are always open for the checks that enrich my coffers.

I used to always want to hear what conservatives have to say on things that concern me because it’s been possible to listen, to that thing I haven’t thought of, or something we can agree on. But now you guys let this guy do the talking, so I’m giving up.

“watch it and you make your own decision.”
Or you could just say that’s not what you meant. I mean, if you wanted to.
Comment by Ron Burgundy Wednesday, Feb 2, 22 @ 2:29 pm
Bailey never met a tax he didn’t want to raise on the home folks. Quit bashing the former representative and own your school board votes. One of your farm subsidies would have made the school district whole.
Comment by The Old Man Wednesday, Feb 2, 22 @ 2:54 pm
What a load of (#*#*) double talk.
BUT: fact is many of our LOCALLY ELECTED School Board Members routinely vote to increase Property Tax Levies every year the Max % allowed by law - many times for good reason, but many times just as a rubber-stamp. I don’t understand why so many folks do not understand those votes are the single biggest reason why property taxes are so high?
Comment by joe Wednesday, Feb 2, 22 @ 4:04 pm
smh this is terrible. The crux of Democrats’ argument for the last many number of years is that because the state doesn’t contribute as much as they should, local govs have to raise property taxes (and sales taxes); and property taxes could be lower if the state chipped in more. Republicans agree the property taxes are too high, but then they are against the state spending more. Republicans have no clue what they are doing. They propose things like state mandated property tax freezes but won’t commit to having the state send more to locals to make up the difference. They propose tax cuts but often don’t propose accompanying spending cuts. These are not serious actors, most people know it, and that’s why they are on the outside looking in at least in Illinois. Anger at the status quo isn’t sufficient. There must also be an alternative. Republicans lack that creative vision.
