Why Doesn't Rahm Emanuel Pay Property Taxes?
Illinois Review ^ | November 6, 2008 | Editor

Posted on 11/06/2008 8:47:51 AM PST by PBRCat

Why wouldn't 4228 North Hermitage property owners Rahm Emanuel and wife Amy Rule not pay property taxes?

One reason may be because Emanuel and Rule declared their 4228 North Hermitage home as the office location for their non-profit foundation appropriately called the "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation". As a non-profit headquarters, they may consider their home as exempt from paying taxes.

Does this also exempt him from paying education/school tax?

Inquiring minds want to know.

This is perhaps the cha-ching-change I could begin to believe in.

I think you’ll be learning a lesson over the next 4 years. There will be no vetting of The One or his minions except for the lowly, weak-voiced patriots. The Love-fest has just begun for the MSM.

To ask the question is to answer it.

I would bet your 401k that the Chicago Tribune had this story a long time ago and spiked it.

The Chicago Tribune was the primary spiker of bad news re Obama and his thugs.

After he is sworn in a lot news re his thugs will roll out.

Of course he can pardon any of his thugs convicted of any crimes, and he will.

Thanks very much for the ping!

I expect many more of these articles in the upcoming months. One side of me thinks that the MSM new exactly who Obama is/was and wanted him president anyway. Not for any social reasons, but because they knew that his presidency would get people back to reading the paper and watching TV news. It's all about ratings!

If we can get this out widely and quickly enough, I think Emanuel can be kneecapped before he’s put in place.

First you need to become a rat.

Then you make big donations and work hard for free to elect rat criminals.

Then you cash in their IOUs to you and create your tax free foundation.

Then you contact George $oreA$$ and volunteer your tax free as a money launder for rats running for election. You should get between 10 to 20% of each donation by $oreA$$.

You cash $oreA$$’s checks. Deduct your laundering fee and send a donation to one of $oreA$$’s fronts or politicians.

IIRC, Rahm Emmanuel is a product of the Chicago-Daly political machine, and helped Obama get his start. Why would anyone be surprised by his selection as chief of staff.

What I’m waiting for is Obama’s selection of AG - I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that it’s Jaime Gorelick.

He did what is sop in Chicago and large part of Illinois.

Nothing will happen to him, because he is not Sarah Palin, you or I.

I am completely unqualified to have an opinioni about this.

That said, I will say the following.

Is this really kosher? The foundation pays none of the expenses associated with the home, yet claims tax exempt status for it? Would be curious to know whose name is on the deed. If there is a mortgage company did it make a loan to a teeny non-profit organization?

At the very least it looks terrible. Of course, it is the Chicago Way.

Dick Morris will write it up. He hates Emmanuel.
