Do you realize Illinois hasn\u2019t had a budget in three years. Illinois is close to the point where they may have to cancel the poor tax. Illinois has one of the biggest taxes on the poor in all of America. (interruption) What do you mean, poor tax? Of course they have &#8212; do you remember, it was April Fool\u2019s like 20 years ago and I advocated raising taxes on the poor, that they weren\u2019t paying their fair share. If anybody wasn\u2019t paying their fair share it was the poor, remember how many people believed it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-238070 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rahm-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rahm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rahm.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>So poor taxes have been instituted before and after my suggestion. And Illinois\u2019s getting to the point where they\u2019re not gonna be able to afford &#8212; the poor tax is the lottery, folks, state lottery, scratchoffs, Powerball, those are taxes on the poor. A one in 18 million chance of winning and you go out and you cash in the food stamp card and you buy lottery tickets, you buy Powerball. It\u2019s a poor tax. There\u2019s no other way to describe it. It is a tax on the poor. It\u2019s a way to get everything else you got from them. I mean, you bleed the poor dry. They already have nothing \u2019cause the rich have already stolen everything the poor had. That\u2019s why the rich are the rich, it\u2019s what liberals think.<\/p>\n<p>And then you institute the lottery. Illinois is getting close to where they will not be able to pay off. That\u2019s gonna cause people to turn to the mob and numbers rackets. People always ask, &#8220;Why do people do that?&#8221; Because the mob always pays the winners. Just like the insurance companies, whenever there\u2019s like a tornado or natural disaster, it\u2019s not so much true anymore, it used to be the insurance companies were the first people on site and paying off, because that\u2019s why they were in business.<\/p>\n<p>It was the greatest thing they could do to ensure getting further business was to pay off right there on the spot in the midst of a tragedy like that. Well, the mob, if you\u2019re silly enough to play the numbers game, if you win it, they will pay off. If you lose it and you don\u2019t pay, then they come after with the guys with the cement swimsuits. But Illinois aree getting close to not being pay their lottery winners or anything else, and it\u2019s classic, is it not? Who\u2019s run that state since all of us have been alive? Don\u2019t tell me Republican governors. The mayor of Chicago runs Illinois and always has.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  Illinois is close to the point where they may have to cancel the poor tax.
