SPRINGFIELD–Illinois House Democrats on Memorial Day honored the dead by pushing their scheme to tax the life out of the state. Democrats, and only Democrats, pushed a constitutional amendment out of the Illinois House, and on to the statewide ballot. All 44 Republicans in the house voted against the bill, and one lone indecisive Democrat cast no vote at all. The measure will be on the November 3, 2020 general election ballot.
“Democrats came into office promising to tax the hell out of people, and now they are one step closer to their goal,” said Jim Tobin, President of Taxpayers United of America (TUA). “What they don’t get, is that passing the Graduated Income Tax Increase in Springfield was the easy part. If they think they can ram the income tax increase past voters they are mistaken.”
“Taxpayers will have an opportunity to kick these tax raisers out of office in the March primary,” said Tobin. “On March 17, 2020 every tax thieving Illinois House Representative will stand for reelection, and I encourage every taxpayer to vote.”
