Illinois to go bankrupt?

[DriveInDriveOut]

I always liked the flat tax. Stop all the bull and pay one rate. Only thing I'm worried these weasels would just keep jacking up the rates.

I have no problem with a progressive tax system seems a lot more fair than a flat tax to me. People like to say flat tax is fair, but bottom line is it's just as complicated from an economic standpoint. There will be winners and losers either way, it's never going to be fair.

They raised the income tax. Didn't that solve the problem? Money must be flooding in?
