Pritzker's Illinois Loses $6 Billion As Residents Flee — WA State Is Next

Illinois just lost $6 billion in adjusted gross income as residents voted with their feet — and the state's political class still hasn't figured out why. Under Governor Pritzker, Illinois has delivered nearly every policy that Washington Democrats are now promising: progressive income taxes, expanded public spending, and a regulatory environment that treats businesses as a problem to be managed. The result is a fiscal bleeding that can't be cauterized without reversing the politics that caused it.Washington State is tracking the same arc. The wealth tax push, the capital gains surcharge, and the steady drumbeat of "make the rich pay" rhetoric are identical to the playbook Pritzker ran before Illinois became a cautionary spreadsheet. The people most capable of leaving are always the first ones out — and they don't send a forwarding address to the tax authority.Sean breaks down where Illinois stands, who's actually leaving and why, and what the numbers say about Washington's near-term trajectory if Olympia keeps borrowing from Springfield's disaster playbook.CHAPTERS0:00 Illinois' Loses $6 Billion as…2:30 Illinois $6 Billion Warning for…3:48 Mayor Wilson Waves Goodbye to…5:26 Starbucks Cuts 252 Jobs, Expands in…6:39 Former Governor Warns Democrats on Taxes7:37 Seattle's New Public Toilet Gamble9:17 Luxury Listings Surge After Tax Proposal10:35 Man Falls Through Ballard Gym Ceiling11:33 Washington Following Illinois Into…12:51 Downtown Seattle 36% Vacant13:51 What Tennessee Has That Washington…15:04 World Cup Will Spotlight Seattle's…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.#Seattle #UrbanDecay #ProgressiveCities𝗚𝗢 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗨𝗠 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘+ 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ 𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗛 - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗡 our 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 Discord Community!
