In Chicago, in addition to the 52% Comrade Daley adds another %12.75.
The illiterate Democrats here in the People’s Republic of Illinois are completely ignorant and think the rich are responsible for jacking up their prices.
They don’t know the difference between a profit and a profit margin. Since the govt takes a larger slice of the pie than profit, the govt is the price gouger par excellence by their own stupid criterion.
Furthermore, they don’t get that businesses build taxes into their cost. If Hillary taxes corporate profit, the big guys at the top will earn in the same ballpark, but we the consumers will have to pay more. There is nothing wrong with CEOs making a ton of money anyway — sports teams will pay a lot to get Kobe Bryant or LeBron James on their roster, so why shouldn’t corporations pay a lot to get superstars on their starting lineup, given the huge responsibility entailed?
In addition, it never occurs to them that gasoline taxes are not a progressive tax. They aren’t even flat taxes. They are REGRESSIVE taxes that disproportionately hurt working people.
ARRRGGGGGH I can’t stand Democrat stupidity. They’re almost as bad as the cretards we have here at FR.
