The amendment does not itself change tax rates. It gives the State the ability to impose higher tax rates on those with higher income levels and lower income tax rates on those with middle or lower income levels.”

So, the amendment doesn’t raise tax rates, but it allows imposing higher tax rates.

But if you’re fool enough to think your taxes won’t go up, vote yes. Just don’t cry when, you know, your taxes go up.
