For Teachers Unions, Focus Should Be Beating Brady

The taxpayers of Illinois are broke because of WHO we tax and HOW we tax, but not how much we tax. Illinois has one of the most regressive tax systems in the entire country. Overall, we tax the poorest 20% more than THREE times the wealthiest 1% (source: http://www.itepnet.org/whopays3.pdf). That is INSANE. And the only candidate who wants to change this disaster AT ALL is Rich Whitney, the Green Party candidate. The Democrats and Republicans are offering no solutions to this whatsoever, just temporary bandage "fixes" that do nothing to get at the root cause of the problem.
