Editorial: An Illinois Tax Crossroads – Wall Street Journal

"The flat tax is the last structural political obstacle to the continued plundering of Illinois taxpayers by the Democratic-union ruling class. It’s also the only remaining discipline that might force lawmakers to reform runaway pensions. If taxpayers give Mr. Pritzker and the entrenched Legislature their way, they will accelerate the decline of a once great state."

Excellent editorial states the average tax cut the machine advertises as part of fair tax would be “less than the cost of ordering a pizza” for average tax paying schmuck!!! Talk about selling trinkets to the indians…the lowest exploitation/ usury!!!

Illinois is a laughing stock.
No on the tax because it will go farther in to the sewer.
All other states should look at Illinois and see what dems do to a state.
