Meeting
TOPIC:
Can Illinois Afford Pat Quinn???
Governor Pat Quinn has proposed increasing Illinois’ personal income tax by 50 percent from 3% to 4.5%. He would also increase the standard exemption from $2,000 to $6,000 per person.
Illinois’ economic health is poor relative to the other 49 states. For example, our state ranks 48th in economic performance, yes we’re doing better than only 2 states. (More Fast Facts at www.illinoispolicyinstitute.org ). Does Illinois have a spending problem or a revenue problem? Can we afford a tax increase given our current economy? What can you do about it? Join Us and find out.

A new American revolution?
Growing support of the FairTax
could become too big
for politicians to ignore!
By the
Augusta Chronicle Editorial Staff
Imagine if early American colonists had access to cell phones, video uplinks and large multipurpose arenas. It would've made the American Revolution a lot easier.
Well, a second American revolution of sorts may be taking place, this time with all the modern accoutrements.
The "Fair Tax," a grass-roots movement to institute a federal sales tax
and dump the oppressive and intrusive income tax, and a handful of other
despised federal taxes, is growing louder and more ubiquitous by the
day.
Last Tuesday, some 7,000 Fair Tax supporters rallied at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, S.C., across the street from the Republican presidential debate.
After cheering speakers such as Sean Hannity, John Stossel, four presidential candidates and Atlanta-based radio personality Neal Boortz, the spiritual leader of the movement, the energized crowd marched slowly around the Koger Center prior to the GOP debate.
It must have seemed an oddity to many: Thousands of white-shirted, placard-waving, polite but motivated folks chanting "Dare to be fair! Fair Tax now!". . . .
Here's a growing cadre of citizens who are spending increasing amounts of time and money - they came to Columbia from all over the country last week - to push for something that isn't a special interest that benefits them.
Think about it. Usually, demonstrators are seeking something for themselves: special rights, more benefits and so on. The Fair Tax supporters will benefit from it, certainly - but so would the entire country. And that's the point.
Yep, that stands out.
The rally and march also stood out because the mainstream media hasn't really sensed how serious this movement is, so it's not on the radar screens of a lot of people. Indeed, the rally wasn't exactly deluged with media; most reporters and cameras were across the street at the
debate.
Yet, Fairtax.org communications director Ken Hoagland says the organization has been on more than 500 radio shows in the past 11 months alone. And with 60 congressional sponsors already and a campaign strategy of taking to the streets in the early presidential primary states, Hoagland says supporters plan to not only get the proposal on everyone's radar screen, but also to make it impossible for elected officials to ignore.
Having a rally across the street, and then a march to the presidential debate Tuesday was inspired. As campaignsandelections.com noted, "The marchers temporarily silenced presidential campaigners and protest groups that lined the streets around the Koger Center. People inside the Koger Center leaned against the two-story high glass windows to get a look at what was going on."
What they saw may be the start of a new American revolution.
Well, it's certainly revolutionary to think of abolishing the IRS - and turning April 15 back to the songbirds of spring.
Boortz also says the Fair Tax is revolutionary in that it's the first serious tax reform proposal developed and packaged by the private sector for our political leaders. And since it would give you more power over your tax bill, and give the government much less snooping power into
your finances, Boortz says the Fair Tax would be the largest single transfer of power from the federal government to the people in American history.
It must have seemed an insurmountable task at first; when did he know it was possible, we asked Boortz. Answer: "When The FairTax Book he and U.S. Rep. John Linder of Georgia wrote hit No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list." "I am not going anywhere. I am going to see this thing through."
A sequel is in the works to list and refute all the criticisms and questions opponents have raised.
The FairTax grassroots movement is gaining momentum at a rapid pace and more rallies are being planned.
The next Major Rally will be Saturday, August 11, 2007 on the Iowa State University Campus, Ames, Iowa.
