"We need that money in my neighborhood, we need that money on my block," railed one Black woman wearing a red "Make America Great Again" cowboy hat. "So I’m asking ya’ll to use our tax money for our people, we need it." Another Black woman, donning a "No More Blue Go Red" top, issued a strong warning to aldermen: "Vote for the money for these immigrants today and we coming for those seats, you can believe that."

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension. Audio here.
Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Loudest protests come from group nonetheless paying least amount of real estate taxes while historically receiving the most city-services and social-welfare programs tax-dollar spending.
Meanwhile the progressive-liberal “white privilege guilt” group, who also pay Chicago’s highest residential real estate taxes, are still stoically bearing majority of Chicago residents’ taxpayer cost-burden, and still docilely accepting more municipal taxes, higher real estate taxes, ever fewer public services of lessening quality and caliber, and remain passively receptive to reckless actions of our elected and appointed officials.
Yes, politically-incorrect observation, but factual correct.
Isn’t the group complaining the ones that mostly voted him in office??? Maybe they will finally learn and vote different
No group no matter the color should be used like pawns to keep a established political Group in power, especially that the political party could not care less how they are. The repeated use of taxes and funds deprive The citizens of needed goods and services. The same party that then tries to replace Them with a more subservient group by Giving them everything. The current residents pay the property taxes, if you don’t Pay they sell your house and keep ALL the Money. Don’t pay the state income tax they Levy and take your savings.

wish they would learn soon……….this same bs has been going on forever here!!
Any moment now, don’t be surprised if the AME Church doesn’t blow on one of its old tired ‘dog whistles’ to help Johnson out.
JackBolly, of course they will, but mayor moron BJ has exposed himself to be the fraud that he is; just like racist Joe Biden
Hahaha this is hilarious, I am black and waking up to the fact that “installed” puppets like Mayor Brainless BJ was installed by the government to “socially engineer” us blacks and get us blacks to think certain ways, its exactly what the government does with all demographics. People are waking up to this scam, vote red never blue no matter who! and kick all these bottomfeeder scumbag losers like Mayor Brainless BJ out! I AM BLACK AND I AM DONE WITH THESE RACE HUSTLING DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS! I look at all these Republican run states which are far better, lower taxes,… Read more »
I’m black so here’s a message to all the blacks and weak simp white people who think they are doing the black community a favor by being for “defund the police” BLM communist nonsense, it doesn’t help the black community, it endangers blacks in the community. The large majority of blacks want more police in our neighborhoods and we also was strict prison sentences for criminals that terrorize our neighborhoods. A message to the defund the policers and BLM communist morons, stop being such complete morons and wake up, they are playing you for the complete idiots you are, stop… Read more »
I’m glad to see you’ve been redpilled but you’ve got an uphill battle to convince your neighbors otherwise:
Agreed debtsor, hopefully they wake up and start voting red and stop buying into the democrat lies and deception. This election will be interesting. Of course the white glacier gliders who are democrat will probably never change, so hoping the blacks start voting red and kick the clown democrats out You know what the funny thing is debtsor, lets say hypothetically all the blacks vote red, all the white racist democrats would call all us blacks who vote red, racists and all the other names they typically call blacks who leave their plantation. Democrats want me as black man to… Read more »
I encourage you to take the next step and consider getting away from both Chicago and Illinois. Things are only going to get worse. To stay and fight the Dems when they control everything (schools, government, media) is pointless.
Hello Former, I probably will if this election doesn’t change. Will see, all the illegals coming into the city has everyone up in arms, will see if voting changes. If voting doesn’t change, I am out all together; will be a complete lost cause.
If people’s conditions haven’t improved after 59 years of the war on poverty it’s obvious they don’t want to win the war. Tell all your black friends to look up which party was responsible for the founding of the KKK, which party was responsible for the Jim Crow laws, then see which party Abraham Lincoln was in.
And Biden trying to block school integration.
Biden is only a friend to the illegals flooding our cities – not citizens.
You forgot 10% to the big guy….that is his friend also
You have the opportunity to be a leader to those around you.
I would love to see the black community vote red, we welcome all votes, but many of the black community’s values are opposite that of conservatives, specifically abortion, welfare, reparations and DIE which polls have consistently shown are very popular in the black community. Republicans aren’t going to become more like Democrats to theoretically take away Democrat voters who are unhappy with the progressive wing of the Democrat party. This really leaves the black community in a trick bag, because their own party has seemingly abandoned them, and Republicans have complete opposite values. I think the most likely scenario is… Read more »
Congrats on your courage to break ranks with your community’s tradition of only voting Dem. Unfortunately, as you continue to find truth, you will soon see that Chicago and Illinois are in a death spiral, and the only smart play is to leave as soon as possible.
Thanks Former, I am someone who can think for themselves, seems pretty rare these days, especially in Chicago and Illinois. Can’t believe how stupid and naïve people can be. These scumbag politicians are lower than dirt. I talk to people in my community and try waking people up. This illegals stuff is really hitting people in the face, so hopefully its what it takes to wake them up. I would love to see Chicago and Illinois flip red this election, we shall see. Also i’m sure the white racist democrat feminazi cult would scold me for thinking this way lol… Read more »
Be thankful you live in a country of alternatives (Florida, Texas, Tennessee,…) as you seek a better path. Race doesn’t have to define you like it does in Illinois. Some places still value the character of the individual above all else.
VERY WELL SAID!!!!!
Let’s go, Brandon! (out the door)
This coming election they will be gone! Vote red never blue no matter who!
Bud Dark, you are spot on. Get braindead Joe and Mayor Braindead BJ out the door! These two freaks are so disgusting. Bud Dark, I like the fact that our posts are getting dislikes, Wirepoints is awesome! And since i’m black and probably a white racist democrat doing the dislikes, isn’t that supposed to be considered racist in their book? Or is it only racist if you don’t vote for Joe Biden then you aint black! LOL! Such great info exposing the democrat trash. Hopefully my community wakes up and votes red!
