Don’t flee to Texas. Everything here either stings, bites or sticks. You’d hate it.

Chicago is the next Detroit. Everyone will start leaving the violence and taxes. It will become mostly black and poor. Won’t get a lot of tax revenue from those.

Fun stuff. Chicago..... Heh heh.

They should just raise property taxes to 25% a year. That would solve all of Chicago’s fiscal problems as cash came pouring in by the truckload. Hell, they’d have too much money. They wouldn’t know how to spend it all. And the citizens would benefit from the security of knowing all those retired guvmnt workers were taken care of.

I’m thinking Illinois is going to be legalizing them some weed pretty soon, once they get a whiff of the potential revenue.

if you make less than the highest paid pensioner, your taxes should not be raised.....I don’t want to pay more to maintain a person who makes more than I do.

“...but the alternative of cutting back on the benefits we pay to our retirees is unthinkable.”

Why?
