Then your state taxes will go up because the amount of aid to states will go down. I know people who work for the government and while agency budgets are flatlined for five years, Congress is increasing the amount of grants to states and cutting the requirements to prove that the grants are being used for their stated purpose. To cut taxes and cut the debt means these grants to states will have to be cut. With less revenue coming in states will have to raise taxes or cut services like retiree pensions from transit agencies. I think all CTA retirees should have their pensions revoked and if they were too dumb to invest in IRA, 401(k), etc. too bad so said. As a taxpayer why should Illinois residents have to pay for those capable of working but voluntarily choose not to and want to sit at home on their computers living on their government handout? |
