Something New - More Taxes

Tax-hiking Illinois politicians are looking ahead to 2014 — and passing an income tax hike is at the top of their list.
Politicians have teamed up with a coalition of union bosses and activists to ditch Illinois’ fair, flat tax for a progressive income tax.
They are selling the progressive tax hike as a tax on the “rich,” but it would hike tax rates on everyone earning more than $18,000 a year.
And this coalition plans to spend millions to hike your taxes.
The “temporary” 67% income tax hike passed in 2011 is already costing the average family an additional $1,500 per year.Together, we can make sure the “temporary” tax hike doesn’t become permanent, and return that money to hardworking taxpayers.
