Comment by Rep pretty well exposes the thinking that led to the problem. Who are "my people"? Stick it to "someone else". SMH!

“Tax thee but not me” does get the free-lunch vote.

Phelps is a babe. She has a Conservative type resume..where do they go wrong

It’s a RAT plan, so who cares how it’s asked ?
Illinois doesn’t tax retirement\SS “income”. That’s coming soon.

How about an initiative for taxing EBT benefits ? or include it in the progressive tax initiative.

CPS is the 4th largest school district in the country.
They are running deficits of about $1 billion a year.
Let those who are using the schools pay for the schools.

No progressive tax.

You are not going to tax yourselves out of your fiscal mess any more than you could have saved the Titanic by pumping more water into her as she was sinking.

After all, don’t the 40% of US wage earners that don’t pay taxes currently, want the rich to pay more. To pay their fair share. The problem is their definition is that those who pay taxes are rich. So don’t tax them, tax the rich.

When will Illinois decide that property taxes must be progressive?

The Fairtax or a Flat tax is the only answer, or we will see our Union dissolve at the hands of those who pit one group of wage earners against those who earn less, or don’t pay at all.

Support no tax that doesn’t include spending cuts.

pritzcurr doesn’t have ordinary income - his is pretty much all capital gains.

He’ll push up taxes on small businessmen and drive them away, while he keeps feeding his fat a$$.

The only ones that like taxes are the ones imposing them on other people.
