Illinois raises income taxes by 66%

Wow. I'm sure that will comfort them. Yes, I'm sure Oklahoma never raised their taxes. I guess people suffer enough just by living there.

 

My apologies.

 

Looks like OK just cut their personal income tax rate for 2012. But, even after that cut, it appears like it is still a quarter of a percent higher than IL's rate even after IL's '66% tax raise'.

OK's sales tax is lower than IL's but sales taxes are the 'Fair Taxes' if I remember correctly.

 

Why do you keep apologizing? Do you not mean what you say to begin with?

 

Just read the whole thread and I saw no mention of the IL corporate tax increase. Lets not forget that all the evil corporations in this state just had their taxes jacked up another 4.8%.
My dad works at a factory. One of the few left around here. They have had a wage freeze for the last 2 years so he has not received any raises. Now IL has raised the income tax so everybody down there just received a 2% pay cut. And the place he works for received a 4.8% cut. Everybody lost ground.

The entire increase is supposed to go away after 4 years. This is a lie but that got it passed. Ok, so IL is more in line with other states as far as income tax goes. Now we're paying a reasonable amount.

Well, for one, it's too late. If they were going to do it, they should have done it before things got out of control. Next thing, how does our property taxes compare to other states? How about our gas tax? There's times I can go to Iowa and get gas for 0.10 to 0.20 cents a gallon cheaper. How does the new corporate tax compare? This goes well beyond just our income tax if we want to compare apples to apples.
Chicago's city tax gives them the highest tax rate in the nation. Sales tax is over 10% in there.

 

Moen did it for us;

 

Well unlike you, I'm not that much of a

 

Have you determined the exact percent of a you are...I mean by body weight because it kind if sounds like you're either confessing something here or you have a lot of respect for Okies's percentage. I've never determined my own percentage but I'm sure it is massive.

 

Moen, you're on a roll today!

Actually, craig a, when confronted with , I respond in kind. It seems to confuse and disorient the original and if your responses are any indication, my tactic is working very effectively.

 

Enough ok with the playground mentality

 

This response is unfounded. You asked a question. I answered. You could've let the apology stand on its own. But you just had to be exactly what was edited. And now your response to this..........

 

Quit being a (edited).

 

Thanks for not letting me down.
