Illinois Senator wants to tax your carpet –

These legislators wrote the pension law for themselves! Full pension after 6 years?

Full time state employees have to work a lot longer than that!

Part time legislators should not get a pension, No other part time state employees do!

Not really. The “Clearing House” the senator proposes is to be a not-for-profit private company, not more state government. It’s not clear that the size of the Illinois EPA, the governing “Agency” would get larger, either. It helps to read the bill not just the news headline.

I agree with the comment left above by my former state representative, Dwight Kay. Illinois can only be saved by splitting Cook and DuPage Counties of from the rest of Illinois. Perhaps my current state representative, Amy Elik, can propose this.

That’s true but it’s been decades regardless of what their samples say. My wife’s uncle worked at the one in Chicago so many years ago and they stopped making their own carpet at least 60 years ago. and when the did do that, they made it with wool, not a petrochemical fiber. Wool is the only carpet you could see the backing on when it wore out. I actually got one of their closed store phone numbers for a few years when we and some others put them out of business near where one of my stores are now. After a year their number became available and they were not in business in the area anymore. The moring a year later when their nuber became available, I got it so the people that had bought from them would call for them, but they were out of business.So we would explain to them why we got their number and picked up some business until their older customer base died off. they needed flooring anyway and we were better than they were and sold THE EXACT SAME PRODUCTS BUT THEIRS WERE PRIVATE LABELED. That’s how they got away with saying they still manufactured carpet. They had a label that said, “Made Exclusively for Olson Rug” which how did I carry the same products then? Because they were living off their past until they couldn’t anymore. There’s I believe a few still around but they are so overpriced it was sad when I hired one of their salespeople and they weren’t aware of this this then tiny shop could make a fair margin and crush them still..

Welp, it helps to read the bill first.

Why not just set up carpet recycling centers Or mandate the co. Selling the New carpet to take old and recycle it? Where is the more Important coverage of the Gov’s giving FED Liheap$$ and snap or other American benefits to illegal yrespassers?Isnt this Fraud? We can not sneak into costa rica,canada,russia and fraudulently portray ourselves as legal immigrants and entitled to free school luches,free clothes,free utilities,free rent,free medical care,free food.Pritzker is supposed to uphold the State and Federal Constitutions and represent US,not the world.Many Americans could use utility,rent,and food help and deserve it.

Unfortunately as usual, she has no clue that EVERY floor covering is an environmental issue but so is the cost increase to implement all this crap. Vinyl is a petrochemical as is the polyurethane that’s on wood, or the plastic that sits on top of a relatively strong fiber board also known as cardboard in laminate. Then the fastest growing segments of flooring isn’t carpet. It’s least expensive and taxing it anymore puts people on the edge of being to redo their homes maybe out of reach for the people who can’t afford it already. Unfortunately, people like this don’t think down to the human cost. It’s just being politically correct to look like she cares. She doesn’t even understand that the mills do a good job of recycling, but to add a tax, she just crushed the people living on slave wages already to give the mills a reason to move to a cheaper labor country like every other industry. The mills like this too. They don’t want to pay the wages here when they can go to China and get child, prison, and eve slave labor to make the products. thus crushing an industry still pretty dominated by America. But even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is for the guaranteed $15 dollar an hour range. Not because they care about people making a living wage because in Illinois, that’s just slightly above the poverty line. They are for it so they have a “legitimate reason” to take manufacturing somewhere other than here. All vinyl floors don’t break down in and fills, either does laminate, and wood can usually take decades unless it’s out in the elements. The finish protects it much like a weather seal would.
But look at the lesser amount of flooring that will be sold. People at the mills will be laid off and eventually put onto a Universal Slave wage if they comply and take this toxic poison that’s not a vaccine, it’s a very dangerous attempt to mess with your DNA and RNA. making you more transhuman than human. There’s people scratching their heads right now wondering what the neck I’m talking about. Just don’t take especially the second poison toxin whe. you see all the people’s negative reactions to it. Not to mention the deaths from doctors who believed in this because they were indoctrinated into believing they know what’s best. I’ve had so many doctors injure me and one sitting in prison right now. they aren’t smarter than you. Most just love the money and go along with what Big Pharma says. I happen to know more than Fraudici and Bill Hate’s. They are into eugenics and world population control. People need to wake up because this will kill jobs in this country which is ALWAYS THE GOAL. From manufacturing less because we can’t keep up with slave labor costs and remain competitive, we’ll lose the manufacturing jobs there, the shipping jobs for the truck drivers, we’ll need less installers because there won’t be as much of ANY FLOORING PRODUCT TO INSTALL. Especially the most affordable one of all. Landlords that haven’t been able to collect rents since the Covid Scamdemic started need to put carpet in all the time to rent a place out. The garbage this ignorant person is talking about is absolutely nothing compared to the chemicals sprayed on our foods, the barium, the ionized aluminum, and so many other chemicals dropped from commercial jets on the population that is breathed in and passes through the blood brain barrier and along with “vaccines” are just some of the reasons that autism has explode which was never spoken f when i was a kid. Either was Alzheimer’s which was rare, and Parkinson’s was starting to become a problem by design too. ALL are the entire reason we have such a sick population!.
I’ve been in the flooring industry since 1984. My wife and I started our first store in 1990. This is just another smokescreen to screw the people that are hoping to enter the market and force people when there are no more jobs to accept this poison shot in order to get their Central Bank Crypto Currency “Universal Income” which will be 100% trackable which has always been the goal. You all need to wake up. First to the fact there is a God and he loves people. Secondly, we aren’t free in America anymore. we only have the illusion of freedom.. disagree if you want, but there’s is no legitimate reason to wear a mask. It’s like asking a chain link fence to stop a piece of dust. But it is poisoning you with too much CO2 instead of more oxygen which makes you hypoxic which raises your cortisol levels which weakens your immune system. See Doctor Buttar who is on brighteon.com or minds.com, gab.com, anyone speaking the truth us deplatformed from Goolag. Stop being ignorant and look into the mask and don’t ever trust the CDC or Fraudici who changes his mind like I change my underwear. He’s the highest paid non-elected bureaucrat in Washington D.C. He also stands to make billions along with Gates and the pharmaceuticals who it’s been illegal to sue no matter what happens to you or your kid. since the mid eighties when these pharmaceuticals got together and told congress they were going to stop making them because too many people were getting sick and dying. If you want to sue now, you have to sue the federal government but I’m sure you can’t print money at nauseum which is why the dollar will not remain the world’s reserve currency much longer.. But this was nonsense in the grand scheme of things. but too many people trust government. Fools. . .

We wouldn’t be in this dire situation if the Fair Tax passed.

She is insane.
