Sorry there's not more of an excerpt. We have to hold excerpts to no more than 50% of the article and this one pushes that limit :)

The supposed $12m this will generate is a drop in the bucket to keep Chicago going. In what year will Chicago file for bankruptcy? I'm guessing 2017, maybe sooner.

’ . . . the city periodically issues rulings that clarify the application of existing laws to these technologies and industries . . .”

Once the alarmists push through their carbon tax, figure the city to tax every breath you exhale within the city limits. Heck, since the CO2 is mobile, they’ll probably try to rope in the collar counties as well.

Nice cloud you got there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.

Glad I’m getting out of that city. The state’s bankrupt, there’s bums on every corner, high unemployment, you have to be careful where you walk down there unless you want to become another statistic and now they want to tax my Netflix. Screw Rahmbo Emanuel and his merry band of crooks I’m done!

I heard Chicago has messed up finances.

I heard that they somehow borrowed against projected parking meter income for the next 75 years. 75 years. And that they went through all that money in about 3 years.

I also heard that pension obligations are going to cripple the city finances in the not too distant future.

I’m glad of one thing. Whatever happens cannot be blamed on Republicans or conservatives. Democrats have run that place for generations. Whatever problems Chicago has must be blamed on the Democrats who have been in charge.

The government is getting into the Roku business.

God help us all.
