Illinois needs Fair Tax Reform

Lift the burden from the middle class. Make the millionaires pay their share.

We need fair tax reform because the old way of taxing income in Illinois is unfair and inadequate. Working people need relief and Illinois needs revenue for critical public services like education, human services, health care, infrastructure, public safety and jobs.

If the Fair Tax ballot measure is approved by voters in November, the wealthiest top 3% of taxpayers will pay a little more on income over a quarter-million dollars a year, while the rest of us—97%—get a tax cut or pay no more than we do now.
