Illinois millionaires and billionaires are already paying far more than the law demands?
Pretty sure I didn't.

That's not saying they do more than the law demands. Come on. I was responding to this statement which says nothing about doing more than the law demands. " a member of the Pritzker family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain (and who has an estimated personal net worth of $3.4 billion) agrees that those with wealth should pay more in taxes." And I replied, "They already do...a LOT more." It is unarguably true.
At any rate, I'm in grandbaby mode now. You'll have to discuss this with someone else.

You have a one-note obsession with the percentage of federal taxes paid by the rich. That is only part of the story. Over and over, the complete story has been pointed out to you. But you simply ignore that, and revert to your obsession.

It's not the COMPLETE truth though, just a factor of the larger picture, and that's the difference.
Wish you and yours the very best during this joyful time.

I keep explaining it to you and you don't get it, it doesn't matter what the tax rate is, the statistic will remain the same

And those wealthy Illinoisans also use their wealth to benefit education, hospitals and the Boy Scouts (as my cousin did when he was alive), start-up businesses, et al.

It's been reported he does but not verified as far as I know, but no doubt he has buddies that are.

"Not verified" "but no doubt" "as far as I know" Do you work for CNN?

It's been verified by the Office of Government Ethics.
He has profited substantially from the three drugs. The Office of Government Ethics has reported that Trump gained $50,000 to $100,000 from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, and $100,000 to $1,000,000 from Gilead Sciences. Both are makers of Remdesivir and Regeneron.
Also reported: Trump's family investments have a large ownership in Sanofi, a major producer of Hydroxychloroquine.
Trump continues to promote Remdesivir and Regeneron.

Do you have any documentation on that? I did a search and came up empty.

Being aware of how much you guys despise lying, I figured you'd want to jump all over this ad by Biden. It's full of real whoppers. My favorite is for this guy to whine about his business doing poorly in democrat controlled Michigan where the gov completely overreacted and shut down (illegally, I might add) so much of the economy that the result was pretty predictable. But of course that somehow comes out to be Trump's fault.
“For 50 years, The Blind Pig has been open and crowded – but right now it’s an empty room,” he says in the one-minute ad, showing the empty venue. “This is the reality of Trump’s COVID response.”
The ad, which was posted to YouTube on Thursday and aired Sunday on CBS during NFL games, features Joe Malcoun, who is listed as the “co-owner” of The Blind Pig, a once-popular bar and music venue in Ann Arbor, Mich. Malcoun blamed his business’ economic downturn on President Trump’s COVID-19 response.
What the ad fails to mention is the man is actually a wealthy tech investor who made contributions to the former vice president’s campaign. He also supported Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home orders that kept businesses shuttered longer. The ad, which was posted to YouTube on Thursday and aired Sunday on CBS during NFL games, features Joe Malcoun, who is listed as the “co-owner” of The Blind Pig, a once-popular bar and music venue in Ann Arbor, Mich.
