If nothing else, yah Horray, Nick1985 will be finally be paying his fair share of taxes.
You could always move to Ohio, and live in a Bohnerville. But if you want good roads and infrastructure, you gotta pay for their upkeep.
dude
income tax is merely one of the many taxes paid. Il has lower income tax but higher property and sales taxes, and we are innundated with fees
it now costs 100 bucks a year just to put a plate on a car.
WI has a much higher income tax but almost no fees, and lower property taxes
pick your poison, but its shit to fee the hell out of us, then raise taxes anyways.
quinns bitch ass restarted a ton of programs the state shutdown due to no $$ and now is begging for $$ from us

I see you know nothing about Illinois. Good roads, rofl
The Global recession is basically the governments doing an economic correction because too many ppl were gaining too much money and big business doesn't like that. Blame it on the banks or who you like, but one thing is sure and that is the governments were complicit and are only too happy to "bail" out the cause and punish the financiersWhat does "fair share" of taxes even mean? If I pay x amount in taxes, and the politicians mismanage the budget year after year, along with the salaries, pensions, and projects, thereby jacking things up even further...
...when the situation finally reaches a head, and their continued and complete F'ups and dishonesty require sh1ttons of $$,$$$,$$$,$$$.$$, all of a sudden the public isn't paying their "fair share"?!?!?!?
Seriously: How totally and completely retarded - and I truly mean that - does one have to be to even think that, let alone state it????

He's committed. He sees a road eat up with potholes but located in a high tax, Democrat-ruled state as automatically better than an equivalent road in a low tax, Republican-governed state, even if the latter has few or no potholes. They are noble potholes, symbols of how much Democrats care.lemonlaw doesn't know WTF he is talking about, at all. I doubt he will even come back into this thread because he knows how much of a dumbass statement that was.

The legislation will include the roll back provision for most of the increase, with the rate settling around 3.75% after the 4 year period. so 3% to 5.25ish% for 4 years then down to 3.75%. There is no way a bill would get enough backing to pass if the 5.25% was permanent.
You mean like the sales tax hike in NJ from 6% to 7% to help pay for property tax rebates to seniors and couples making < $125k per year? Rebates terminated after 1 year, 7% sales tax has remained.
Millionaires tax on couples making over $400k that was only supposed to be temporary too, and was extended by Corzine (*shocker*) until Christie was elected and let it expire thank God.
Or perhaps the 75% rise in overall NJ property and income taxes in the 10 years McGreevy and Corzine held office, while $70 billion in wealth left the state to retire in the South leaving the rest of us to pay the higher bills.
Yeah, welcome to NJ...err, Illinois
:thumbsup:
You should give me a thumbs up. Someone needs to pay for your social services.

Well i don't have the property taxes, but it costs me like 400 to register my truck every year here in California.
... and yet the fools in IL will still continue to elect the idiots who do nothing but spend and waste, then raise taxes. Sigh.

That upkeep should not have to include very sweet pension packages for state employees.
I don't think the OP has an issue with paying taxes. However, it appears he lives in a state that has been fiscally irresponsible. His taxes are being raised not to assist with infrastructure (police, bridge repair, etc) but rather to compensate for poor fiscal management. His taxes are being raised to pay debt owed by the state.
Lets look at an example at the city level. I pay $400 year in city taxes. If my house catches fire, I can dial 911 and a city firefighting crew will come to assist. I have no problem with this. Now lets say my city went and bought cars for each of the city employees to use for personal needs. Then there is a budget shortfall. The city must raise my taxes to $450 to cover the cost of all the cars, insurance, leases, etc. Now I begin to bitch about taxes being raised. And people on the forums say... well you like roads and city services like the police don't you?
It is not an issue with paying taxes. Same thing on the federal level. It is being upset with the poor management of taxpayer money.
