(65,159 posts)Not once has Pritzker said he want higher taxes on the middle class. In fact, in one commercial he says taxes should be higher "on people like me", or the very very rich.
But, the Rauner commercial is saying just that.
And, they say if you want more of Pritzker and Madigan's corruption. . .
Exactly what corruption are they claiming Pritzker has been a party to?
