Poll: High taxes are the top reason Illinoisans want to leave the state
The government employee pension problems are only going to get worse in the Land of Lincoln. Pressure to tax those who still live in Illinois will intensify.
(From Illinois Policy)
The Illinois Issues poll results contain a warning for Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his push to eliminate the Illinois Constitution’s flat income tax protection: “Respondents reporting a household income of more than $100,000 a year (68%) are nearly ten percentage points higher than other income groups to say they’ve considered moving out of the state, with those reporting a household income lower than $45,000 (58%) being least likely.”
In other words, those most able to afford a move and who stand to lose the most are much more likely to leave than those who can least afford to do so, according to the poll.
