Tax Hike Proponent Ralph Matire Provides Convincing Political Argument that Income Taxes Should Not Increase: Income Down 12% or $6,000 Since 1999
Tax Hike Proponent Ralph Matire Provides Convincing Political Argument that Income Taxes Should Not Increase: Income Down 12% or $6,000 Since 1999
Who would have thunk it?
Ralph Martire, the number one tax hike proponent in the state of Illinois has helped provide a study that is probably capable of scaring a lot of Democrats out of voting to hike the Illinois income or sales tax..
It was featured as the lead story in the Chicago Tribune this morning and my first thought was, “That sure punctures the income tax hike movement!”
With households earning 12% less in constant dollars than they were in 1999, what politician in his right might would even consider taking more out of a pay check.
Under a grant from the Joyce Foundation, Martire’s Center for Tax and Budget Accountability and Northern Illinois University’s Office for Social Policy Research released a study today (except to the Chicago Tribune, which got it yesterday) that contained the startling income drop revelations.
Martire’s group is a union-controlled front group whose main mission in life is raising Illinois income and sales taxes, which is consistently ignored by the Left Stream Media.
