Closing argument: Yes for a better state

Fair Tax Amendment raises critical revenue by slightly hiking tax rate for those making more than $250K; it really is that simple

As the sun sets on the 2020 general election, the choices for a brighter future should be clear. (One Illinois/Ted Cox)

Just over two and a half years ago, we launched One Illinois to bring people together and bridge race, class, and geography. Our position has always been that we have our differences across Illinois, but we have much more in common to unite us than what tends to divide us.

The Fair Tax is a way to bring the entire state together by funding the programs that benefit all Illinoisans, while providing tax relief to the vast majority of working families, farmers, and small-business owners making up to $250,000 a year, simply by asking those earning more to pay a slightly higher tax rate.

Consult our Daily Debunks if there’s any doubt, but otherwise the choice should be abundantly clear.

Go vote if you haven’t already.
