If the Chicago City Council had allowed Walmart to spend their money on building a Walmart store inside Chicago, then Chicago would have received millions of property tax dollars and sales tax dollars per year.

Now, Chicago gets nothing.

LOL! I was trying to get you going with my first post. I've noticed that most of the media is completely credulous when "reporting" on taxation issues.

I'll bet that if Finance Committee Chairman Edward M. Burke told little Ms. Fran Spielman that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy were getting "shafted" by the EVIL Chicago "tax evaders", she'd print it as gospel.

Of course, your points about Walmart & the city of Chicago would never see the light of day...
