Illinois ranks as worst state for low-income earners – Illinois Policy

A WalletHub study found low-income Illinoisans pay 14% of their annual salary to sales, property and incomes taxes – more than anywhere else in the nation. Middle-income earners will spend 12.6% of their income on state and local taxes this year. The largest proportion will go toward covering sales and excise taxes on the purchase of goods.

With thousands of illegals all clamoring to work, this situation will get much worse before it gets better.

Of course! Being poor in IL sucks. You live in cockroach infested apartment buildings in areas with high crime and you pay through the nose in taxes.

Unless.. you sit at home all days partying and someone else pays for your rental, food, utilities and the kids you don’t really care about’s schooling. IL is a righteous place to be for the welfare crowd!
