Get ready for a shit-ton more things like that.
Taxes are about to go way up there. People are going to leave because of it. Total tax receipts will go down. Place will still be fucked. If they want to fix this, they need to attract business, not run it out. |

A lot of the big cities are going to have to do this, Chicago is just the first to step up to the plate. Once the precedence is set expect it to expand. Keep your powder dry, this is going to push people from the cities to the 'burbs and then the cities will have to push to tax the 'burbs.

To fix the overburdened union pensions, tax more. Yeah that will work, cause the assholes managed the money so well the first time around.
Dump the unions and pensions. 401k matching deposits for individuals as long as they work and their retirement money will be there without any further issues. Of course. The dem party loses cash in that scenario, and the employees will retain it. |

I know that a bunch of them white tards bought land near the Illinois River basin, near our range, they were upset that folks had guns and get this, used them. Was much insanity for the county explaining it ain't Shit-town. Yeah, this is only going to get worse. |

People with money and businesses will leave if the financial benefit is great enough.

This story comes at the same time as the state legislature refused to bail out the Chicago public schools. A $600million contribution was due the teacher pension system last week. Money was not available, so the operating budget for next year was raided. 1,000 plus teachers got fired because there is now no money to pay them. Things are about to get nasty with the teachers union, and Rahm is desperate for cash.

If they want to fix this, they need to attract business, not run it out. They are literally too stupid to understand this. For years we've watched a fair number of Illinois businesses relocate across the state line into Wisconsin each time Chicago or Illinois comes up with a new tax - especially since Wisconsin became a "Right To Work" state, |

And if the employer does not make the contributions to a pension system, how is it they all of a sudden will to a 401k? Of course there are still plenty of social programs for the FSA being well funded in Chicago and Illinois. |

All sorts of fuckheadetry to go around here.
The state constitution says you can't touch the pensions. Yes, downwards pension adjustments (not upward of course) are constitutionally protected here. Chicago is just doomed. Of course, the liberals will never learn from their utter disastrous mistakes, or those of other socialist havens (Greece), so it'll just keep getting worse all around the country. Chicago is just a warning of what's to come. |

The ads the next year talk about the thousands of teachers given layoff notices ... but fail to mention not a single one was laid off ... and plea for more and more funding. |

In addition to mentioning the whole collective right interpretation of the 2A if I could go back in time to the Constitutional Convention, I'd mention the urban mob that is warping the electoral process. While this was foreseen and addressed by the Electoral College, I'd suggest they require any city of over 1,000,000 to become a District, with an appropriate number of reps. More importantly they'd be disconnected from their original state, leaving the rest of the population alone. |

Finally, I just said: " Hey Cochise , I don't see your fucking horse tied up out front, but I did see your truck in the parking lot". *crickets* |

The truth is, properly written, a tax on renting movies even when those movies are delivered over the internet isn't necessarily bad (well, bad in the sense that you can't just keep on cranking up the tax rate when you are low on money...and bad because Netflix or whoever is just going to pass the cost on to the customer) what's bad is to do this they create a law that's so ridiculously broad |

Of course there are still plenty of social programs for the FSA being well funded in Chicago and Illinois. The issue now is funding pensions for retirees that are already retired, not future retirees. Had a 401k been in place those employees would have their money today. Instead the city has no money to pay them for decades to come. And they would make the payments since the payment would be made while the employee was actively working. The payments to the 401k stop when the employee retires. |
