Support the proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution to permit the legislature to enact a graduated income tax.
Why is this important?
Because of the clause in the Illinois State Constitution mandating that the state personal income tax be flat, low income people in Illinois pay a far higher share of their income in state and local taxes than wealthier people. Illinois has one of the most regressive tax structures in the nation. The Illinois Constitution should be amended to permit the state legislature to levy a graduated personal income tax.
