 No, Virginia, Illinois Is Not a Low-Tax State - by John W. Skorburg - The Heartland Institute
Among those who have said Illinois is a low-tax state are local political heavyweights such as U.S. Senator-elect Barack Obama (D-IL), who gave the keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and easily won the November 2 general election for a seat in the U.S. Senate, and the Illinois Tax Federation.
But the facts, according to the report issued October 14 by the Illinois Policy Institute, indicate Illinois businesses and individuals are heavily taxed when one includes federal taxes and local property and excise taxes.
According to the Illinois Policy Institute report, the "low-tax perception" is buttressed by data released earlier in 2004 by the Federation of Tax Administrators (FTA), which ranked Illinois 45th in state taxes, when the tax burden is measured as a percentage of personal income.
