WTF is the Illinois Policy "argument" against progressive tax?

[Cary]

As best as I can tell they think they're saying that billionaires will move out of state and then middle class taxes will go up. I have seen zero evidence of this.

All I see from any of the "conservative" mopes is that they are moving and they blame everything on Chicago. To which I respond by telling them to leave and have a good life, and they respond with some kind of personal attack.

With all of that Koch money shouldn't Illinois Policy be more coherent?

Do we still have a Republican Party in Illinois? If only they were this fucked up on a national level.

1. 34 states have a progressive income tax.

California and New York among them.

Are there no rich people in these 34 states?

2. And does Illinois Policy really think that all Illinois has to offer is a flat tax?

They're so stupid! I can't stand their stupidity.

3. Another Koch brothers front organization

that masquerades as a research institute.

There are 41 of these deceptively named policy institutes in 50 states.
