<1 CxJ PG. 10- PLAINDEA'.ER - WED. JUNE 25, 1969 Vi' Political Corner HAN AH AN SPEAKS OUT ON PROPOSED 3 PER CENT TAX "Governor Ogilvie's stubborn insistence on a 3 per cent <flat rate state income tax that applies to both individuals and 'corporations at the same rate : completely disregards the interest of the people who elected him," Rep. Hanahan Democrat- McHenry, said yester- Hav " The Governor is protecting the business and corporate interests that have always been closely aligned/ With the Republican Party. "Taxing business and corporate income at a higher rate than the wages and salaries of individuals is the only fair and responsible way of taxing," Hanahan sztid. " Of the forty-one states that have some kind of income tax, only one,. Indiana, taxes corporations and individuals at the same flat rate. " Illinois families, already hit by the highest effective sales tax in the nation, would under the Governor's proposal pay a higher income tax than "in the majority of other states. "Corporations, however, under the Governor's proposal „ would pay a lower income tax than in thirty-seven of the for- - ty-one states with such a tax," _ Hanahan said. "A tax with the same rate on people and corporations is not an equal tax. For example, under Governor Ogilvie's proposal, an individual with an income of $10,000 a year would pay the state $270 in income taxes. Because this is deductible from federal taxes, he would get back approximately $51.30 from Uncle Sam-- which means the state tax would really cost him $218.70 or 2.2 per- . cent of his gross income, or 2.4 - percent of his state taxable income. "A corporation with the same $10,000 profit would pay $270 and receive back from the federal government $142.56, making its real tax only $127.44 or 1.3 percent of income -- far less than the rate paid by •the individual. "The federal government will pay more than half of any in- » come tax on corporations," ; Hanahan said. "This will not be • the case with individuals." " Even now corporations and businesses are not bearing their share of the tax load in 111- ' inois. "The Illinois Taxpayer's federation in a 1968 study said that ir corporate taxes levied for the ^ privilege of doing business in Illinois was 'among the lowest of the industrial states' amounting to only 62/100 of one percent of total state taxes. "If Illinois is going to have an income tax," Hanahan said, "I for one will insist that business in this state begin to pay it? share of the tax and that some relief be given to the average taxpayer who bears much more than his share of the very high sales and property taxes." "I insist on fairness in taxes. I do not believe the state should tax more heavily than it needs to, and above all I believe each should bear his £air share of the burden," Hanahan said.
