Illinois' neckless Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt fortune and billionaire playboy, cheated on his property taxes.
According to Joseph Bustos at the Belleville News Democrat:
WBEZ reported the probe began in October while Pritzker, a Democrat, campaigned to unseat then Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. The station added there are no signs that criminal charges are imminent.
The Pritzkers received the tax break after toilets were removed from a mansion the couple owns. That mansion was later deemed uninhabitable.
A Cook County inspector general called the move a "scheme to defraud†taxpayers.
I wonder if Democrats will demand his tax returns as vociferously as so many have demanded them from Donald Trump?
Luckily for us that scheme seems to be crapping out!
Who removes toilets from his own home so as to declare the property uninhabitable and get a tax break? That is something few would think of doing and even fewer would actually implement, as most people need their toilets more than the tax break.
One of the cornerstones of Governor Pritzker's agenda is a major tax increase, including the implementation of a heavy, progressive income tax. One of the few good things about Illinois is that at present it does not have a state income tax. Pritzker wants to remedy that.
But how do you take a guy who wants to raise your taxes seriously when he cheats on his own?
It's the classic Ruling Class "above the law" attitude that drove the election of Donald Trump; there are the peasants who are under the Law and the elites who make their own.
Maybe Pritzker should team up with singer Sheryl Crow, who advocated using only one square of toilet paper; she'd make a fine house guest for Mr. Pritzker, who has a shockingly minimal toilet capacity...
