A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
The goal isn’t higher real estate values for Chicago. The goal is confiscate and redistribute as desired.
Better yet, why not legally, embedded in the Ill constitution, make it illegal to move out of the state?….or if that will not work, impose like a 90% sales transaction tax if someone wants to move out of Illinois?
That way, we could increase the pensions and medical benefits and salaries for all Illinois/Chicago public employees including the aggrieved Illinois teacher’s union.
Same group that backed the Fair Tax. In fact, if you drew a Venn diagram of the supporters for both this real estate tax and the fair tax, it would be one giant circle. These groups aren’t interested in fairness, they’re interested in more.
