Dang it, so much for proofreading. “Taxes” in the title should be “Texas”.
Took me a second to figure out Texas! :)
The ad cracks me up for its chutzpah and sheer gall. Chicago believes in “Every person’s right to vote.” Yeah, and it doesn’t matter if you are breathing or not. And Chicago protects your right to vote as many times as you want.
Chicago has the WORST and most notorious machine politics in the nation and has led the way for 150 years. It has the most corrupt political system anywhere. I note that they don’t mention clean politics, but your “right to vote.” There is a reason for that.
Your typo in the headline brings to mind a funny story.
I grew up mostly in Ithaca, NY which has a street named Texas Lane. One of my dad’s good friends had his address on his mailbox and it read “123 Taxes Lane” instead of “123 Texas Lane.” One summer day (probably around 1963, when I was 12) we were visiting them and I proudly marched up to the men drinking beer and announced “Mr. Smith, you made a mistake on your mailbox. It says ‘Taxes Lane,’ but it should say ‘Texas Lane.’” All the men laughed uproariously at the naïveté of the kid. Mr. Smith had caught another sucker.
