New taxes are about to go into effect here in Illinois. They are REALLY stupid too. Do you consider 0 calorie, 0 sugar flavored water to be a candy? Well, the state government does now! That means it'll have 6% tax rather than the normal 1% tax you get on food items. Kit Kat bars and Licorice are now considered food because they're made with flour, but chocolate chips(which NO ONE just eats like a candy) is now considered candy and will get the 6% tax as well.
More excuses to tax, tax, tax...
