Main Position
Indivisible Lincoln Square opposes Republican tax cuts benefiting the wealthy and corporations at the expense of working families and small businesses. The organization critiques Illinois’s flat-rate income tax as “regressive and unjust in that it requires people of all income levels to pay the same rate.”
Policy Advocacy
The group supports four key reforms:
- Real tax reform prioritizing working families and small businesses as primary beneficiaries
- Progressive personal tax rates at federal and state levels
- Corporate rates ensuring large businesses contribute fairly
- Tax rates sufficient to fund existing assistance programs for lower and middle-income earners
Recommended Actions
The organization suggests multiple engagement strategies:
- Participate in phone banking and voter canvassing efforts
- Register voters in blue collar and low-income neighborhoods
- Meet with elected officials including Representative Quigley to discuss tax positions
- Create and distribute educational flyers
- Write factual newsletter articles about tax policy
