PSA: the Illinois Constitution does not ban a tax on retirement income. Current state law does that. You wouldn’t need to pass a constitutional amendment to start taxing retirement income, you would simply need to change the law. Same as it always was.

The Fair Tax amendment would require the wealthiest to pay a little more while cutting taxes for everyone making less than $250,000 a year. It does NOT tax retirement income, plain and simple!
