Plainfield Progressive Income Tax Town Hall Meeting

Were
you aware that some politicians in Springfield are considering yet another tax
hike, one that could affect 85% of Illinois taxpayers?  Join state Representatives John Anthony, Tom Cross and David McSweeney for a

townhall meeting to learn about the progressive income tax proposal.

To RSVP
for the event, please  go here!

Despite
having one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and on the heels of
a 67% state income tax hike just three years ago, our legislators are once
again considering raising our taxes. An amendment to the Illinois Constitution
has been offered to scrap Illinois' flat income tax and switch to  a graduated, or "progressive," one. While proponents claim this hike
would only affect "the rich," the fact is that one proposal would
raise the marginal tax rate on anyone earning more than $5,000.
