I VYCITAL'S HARDWARE 1228 N. Green St. McHenry, 111. ~ Phone 385-008$ by Rep. Thomas J. Hanahan, Jr. Recently I have received quite a lot of mail concerning House Bill 1185, which will increase our state tax on gasoline from 5 to 8 cents. Almost all of, the letters on this subject request me to vote "No" on this increase, ,but they don't say where we are to get the money that the state of Illinois so drastically needs in order to improve our state aid to education, upgrade our mental institutions, raise the pay of our state employees and create a better penal system. Everyone wants Illinois to be a better place to live, and it's natural to want better school and mental institutions, but it is quite hard to want a raise in taxes to finance these things. Any legislator who would vote against an increase in taxes and at the spme time, vote for an increase in aid to education and mental hospitals is a political hypocrite. We in the General Assembly realize the needs of our various code departments and commissions that are asking for increases in their budgets. We feel the needs of our highway systems and our recreational facilities and we therefor feel the necessity of raising revenue. This brings us to the question of how we can raise these funds. I believe it is just as unfair to raise the sales tax on a loaf of bread or a pound of meat as it is to raise the state tax on gasoline or diesel fuels. This is just another form of a sales tax and I am definitely opposed to this regressive and unfair form of taxation. But until you, the citizens of our state, start clammoring for a new Revenue Article which will be fair to all, I am afraid that we have no alternative but to continue raising taxes on gasoline, food, cigarettes and liquor. The only fair tax, which I hope Illinois will have in the very near future, is the graduated income t^x similar to that of our federal government. In this way, all of us will be paying a fair share to support our state government when we are working and receiving an income. When we are retired, on sick leave, or unemployed, and do not have any income, we will not have to continue paying a regressive tax. Also under the present system of taxation, those who have large families and can least afford it, pay moFe sales tax on necessities than those who have small families. Shouldn't this be changed to be like our federal tax so that those who can afford less will pay less? Recently Governor Kerrjer made his Revenue Article proposal and I felt proud that he kept his word on asking to have the Personal Property Tax abolished. To me, this tajf.js niost unfair and unbefitting a twentieth century society. How cpuld anyone possibly justify paying a tax on an old piece of furniture and not on stocks and bonds and bank deposits. J hope that all of you citizens who are tired of these unfair taxes, both the sales tax and the personal property tax, start demanding a change in our Revenue Article.
