And all *I* am saying is that the current method of taxing maintenance of
aircraft in Illinois is *costing* the State money instead of producing revenue.
That's the real world, and that makes it a poor tax. The State was making more
money before the tax was incorporated, and they will make more within a few
years of repealing it. If they retain it, fewer and fewer people will pay it
(they'll take their planes to another State with lower taxes), more and more
businesses will go under, and less and less income tax will be collected.
