There is a push by Illinois lawmakers to double state income taxes on people who make $250,000+ in the state, the money would be used given to everyone else as a tax break.  They want to hold a referendum on it in the fall.  Illinois has basically been taken over by Bolsheviks, a sample,

Colleagues have already dubbed downstate Democrat Rep. Mike Smith's plan the "Robin Hood referendum." State tax data shows 107,000 people in the state made more than $250,000. That's roughly 5 percent of all tax filers.

Says another glorious revolutionary,

"Let's take from the rich and give to the poor," said state Rep. Joseph Lyons, a Chicago Democrat.

Comrade, you make me smile!

Of course, there is a reason for this,

Supporters hope the other 95 percent -- who'd pay nothing more and could see upward of $300 in state tax breaks -- would swamp polling places to vote for this.

While I'm guessing they know the Democrat Presidential race is a lock there. They're probably hoping to pick up some seats in Congress with this, and make the capitalists and kulaks pay for their crimes against the Soviet, of course.

"I'm not sure who would campaign against this other than those 107,000," Smith said.

Only capitalist pigs who understand basic economics, comrade.

Sen. Kirk Dillard, a Hinsdale Republican, said the low, flat income tax is "one of the last good economic tools" in Illinois.

"We should not get sucked into class warfare," said Dillard, who estimated his own income would fall short of the $250,000 threshold.

You think class warfare is bad, just wait for the show trial and gulag, my friend.
