I begged him to run for 2024. He said he had no desire to be the president. It's a shame because he is very fair and presidential. Unfortunately, I will say Illinois has the highest taxes on the planet. But that aside, he could really get things done

To be fair, Il has the seventh highest state and local tax burden in the US.

They are just so taxed. I can't believe it. However, I do like pritzker. I think he's a good governor and he looks out for his state. I think he would do fine running the country. Of course right now, Mickey mouse would do a better job than what we currently have.

I’d love him to run, too. Curious, I researched recent tax-burden rankings: New York has the highest total tax burden at 12.02%, followed by Hawaii, Vermont, California, and Maine. Illinois ranks 8th in total tax burden, with 9.67% (including property, income, and sales/excise taxes). Still, high.
