Wait till THEY have to pay an extra tax on their $300.00 Gym Shoes!
While some may think it’s a logical idea, others are saying that it’s another case of Illinois legislatures simply having too much time on their hands to dream up some pretty incredible ideas. According to the Illinois Observer on Monday, Illinois State Representative Will Davis – a Democratic lawmaker from Hazel Crest, Illinois – is proposing that Illinois retailers should charge a special tax on each pair of athletic footwear it sells to the public.
Davis’ plan is to have the special 25-cent tax per pair of gym shoes put toward a new program designed to help the state’s youth via the “Youth Build Support Fund.” The program is administered by the Illinois Department of Human Services.
The legislative bill regarding the extra taxation on athletic footwear is officially labeled as House Bill 978 and will likely be addressed on or shortly after Jan. 30, 2013 when the Illinois legislature returns to work in Springfield.
