The Chicago Teachers union doesn’t just want 9% annual raises, they want that and even more – Wirepoints on The Shaun Thompson Show
Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
There’s actually a reasonably debatable issue here. Well, almost. There’s a body of opinion that says gas tax cuts don’t get passed along to consumers. For example, even the conservative Tax Foundation says that. See https://taxfoundation.org/suspending-gas-tax/. During George Ryan’s administration as guv, they had a gas tax cut and did require these signs as an attempt to force the cut to be passed along to consumers. I disagree, and wrote earlier in favor of cutting those taxes. I do think they get passed along and I don’t think the signs, in any event, would make much difference.

Sounds like Pritzker is running scared
LOL that fat POS can’t even bend down to tie his shoes let alone run. Well maybe for a hot dog or some cheese pizza.
Democraps are lower than a snakes belly. Disgusting corrupt scumbags. Now, I really feel……..
Add a sticker explaining that thanks to Illinois Democrats, Illinois drivers are paying sales taxes on top of gas taxes — essentially paying taxes on the taxes they are already paying:

I’ve already seen some disclosures on gas pumps when filling up at $4.50 a gallon. Those decals of a defiant Joe Biden saying “I did that!”. I couldn’t agree more.
A few weeks ago, I saw a gas station pump with so much anti-Biden graffiti it was like a low-tech internet forum.
The federal government is considering a suspension of the federal gas tax, but the oil companies couldn’t guarantee consumers would save any money. At this point they should take an emissions break and reverse the boondoggle that the Biden administration has created.
Either the government isn’t capable of understanding supply/demand or they don’t want to understand it. They keep driving-up inflation, implement inflation-based tax increases and claim they save people money.
The idea of imposing gas station owners with $500 per day propaganda fines is ridiculous.
This reminds everyone that the inflation adjustment wasn’t removed, just delayed 6 months.
Was there a sign posted reminding customers the gas tax was doubling in 2019? Do gas stations post signs every July 1 when the automatic inflation increase kicks in? Why would anyone want their name displayed next to these high gas prices to begin with? What a dumb idea.
