Editorial: Brandon Johnson and friends think it’s ‘a privilege to do business in Chicago.’ Wrong. – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

"Progressives who lack respect for billionaires like Citadel CEO Ken Griffin may feel they can afford to sniff at the loss of hundreds of his highly paid employees. But the departure of those 850 Citadel workers has meant hundreds of millions in lost spending power, including tax receipts. Keep chasing folks like that out of town, and that 5 percent tax soon will need to be raised to something like 7.5 percent and surely more later. That’s how once-flourishing cities like Chicago end up circling the drain."
