The people of Chicago decide that driving over a cliff wasn’t going fast enough so they put nitro into their fuel……and put the petal through the floor…..
the democrats in Chicago want the wealthy to leave the city so they can rule over the hell they are creating…
As I have posted before, the democrats would rather rule in hell than live in heaven….
The package includes a metric butt-ton of new spending, naturally, but it’s the $12 billion in new taxes that will make people scream in agony. For reference, Chicago’s “historic” “recovery” budget last year was “just” $16.7 billion.
New or increased taxes include but are not limited to:
Think I’m kidding? The Chicago Mercantile Exchange — founded in the city in 1898 and one of the largest trading floors in the world — on Monday threatened to relocateout of Chicago.
The Merc leaving Chicago would be like the NYSE decamping for Tampa, taking with it all of the high-paying jobs with those high-flying bonuses and destroying all the attendant service-sector jobs.
Are there any leftists out there who will defend this? Who can explain how this does anything but destroy the city?

Needless to say, the taxes mostly hit one kind of Chicagoan with two particular (but related) skills: The ability to pay and the ability to get the hell out of Dodge and not pay.An annual head tax of $33 per worker for companies with 50+ employees
Quadruple the tax on jet fuel.
A 3.5% income tax on households making more than $100K
A 0.4% “wealth tax” for the top 10% of city earners.
$1-2 transaction tax for financial exchanges.
