Bill Summary
States the belief that the Illinois Constitution should not be amended to permit a graduated income tax.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses the belief that the Illinois Constitution should not be changed to allow for a graduated income tax, which is a system where tax rates increase as income rises. The resolution argues that Illinois's current flat income tax, which has been in place since 1969 and is enshrined in the state's Constitution, provides a more stable and attractive environment for businesses and individuals. It contends that a graduated tax would hinder economic growth, discourage entrepreneurship and job creation, and create uncertainty for taxpayers regarding future tax rates, while a flat tax is seen as more supportive of work, saving, investment, and risk-taking.
