Illinois Policy Institute reports:
A coalition of progressive groups is beginning to coalesce around a proposal to create a progressive income tax in Illinois. Under their plan state income tax rates will increase as one reaches higher incomes, up to a top rate of 11 percent for incomes over $1 million. This plan would leave Illinois with one of the highest income tax rates in the country, increase Illinoisians tax bills by more than $8 billion, and would most likely drive entrepreneurs and jobs from the state.And if one digs beneath the surface of this plan, one finds government employee unions as a major source of money for supporters of the tax. The non-taxpayers want more money. Illinois has a flat 5% and these greedy unions want 11% out of some people.

It’s done such great things for New York or California.

The proposal must be changed in 2 ways.
1)All elected representatives of the people, state, county, and local, must pay the highest rate no matter what their gross income is. No exceptions.
2)All state, county, and local employees of any government entity in Illinois must pay the highest rate no matter what their gross income is. No exceptions.
The Illinois democrats & ‘progressives’ (liberals) need to look at to what’s happened in the state of New York. The rich have ‘jumped ship’ like rates when the state hit them with ungodly taxes. So, if Illinois would like to chase the wealthy out of the state, chase them away with high taxes.
The very people killing off the American Middle Class are the labor fakers (fakirs) of SEIU and their lesser-lights (AFSCME & the Teachers).
Public Service Unions never engage in “collective bargaining” – only legislative blackmail.
The Skilled Trades are the middle class and they are being taxed into poverty by these Marxist dodgers.
Ralph Martire is the architect of Illinois insolvency.
It’s a great policy — punish job creators and income producers and subsidize greedy union members. Illinois has been doing all it can to drive out businesses and speed toward bankruptcy.
