Issue Position: Tax Policy

Issue Position

I want to repeal the 32% Democratic income tax rate increase.

I opposes a graduated income tax system.

The ever-increasing tax and fee burden on Illinois businesses and individuals is driving businesses and people out of Illinois. The total tax burden (income tax, sales tax, excise tax, property tax, estate tax) in Illinois is one of the highest in the nation. The taxes and fees in Illinois have been increasing while incomes in Illinois remain fairly flat, or, are declining. This is creating enormous hardship for businesses and individuals. Every business that closes or leaves not only causes immediate job losses, but it creates a ripple effect when the revenue that had been collected by state now has to be collected from whatever businesses and individuals that remain.
