Pritzker has an estimated net worth of $3.7 billion, in part due to his family’s ownership of the Hyatt Hotel chain.

    Sure, that’s great and all, and sadly what should be expected from our leaders. They aren’t there to be popular, they are there to lead the state/county/country into prosperity. Still doesn’t explain why he has 3.7 billion dollars while people in his state and country go hungry and can’t afford rent. I applaud his efforts and still think he should not have that much money.

      If your talking taxation and reducing all large wealth with the higher the more like with the hundred billionaires then im with you. Heck one thing I did not mention was he tried to get a progressive tax for the state but its in the constitution to have it flat. If you mean he should give his away so that more assholes have money and less decent folk do then your way wrong.

          you would not believe how often you get yahoos who feel that if a rich guy pushes for more wealth taxes that reply if he does not want it he can just donate to the gove or such. its why I have to make it clear.
