-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
To the song Old MacDonald had a farm. Pritzger adds an another tax, EIEIO. With a tax tax here and tax tax there, here a tax there a tax everywhere a tax tax, Pritzger adds an another tax,EIEIO.
Can a breathing tax be next? As we know, the Democrat solution to any and every problem is a new tax or further increasing existing taxes! The Illinois governor and the state legislature have zero financial acumen or discipline!
Well Illinois needs spending money to continue to pay for the goodies the voters demand so new taxes are needed. Of course the voters could demand a cut in spending but, as history has shown, that will never happen.
This will once again be the Law of Unintended Consequences. Look at the Gas Tax. It has not generated the revenue they thought (due to EVs and Hybrids), so State Senator Ram Vilivalam has bandied about a Mileage Tax where Everyone has a GPS type device that measures Miles Traveled, upon which you pay a tax on that amount. Look at Recreational Pot. People are buying the Illegal stuff because IL Taxes it too heavily. The Bag Tax will encourage people to use those Reusable Bags, and that Tax will fall short of projections like the ones I mention above.… Read more »
Tax, tax and more tax. When will this end? The highest taxes and broke. Someone is living good off the taxpayers.
There just isn’t a tax democrats don’t like.
My “quiet” protest will be to toss this bags out the window as I drive.
Wait a minute. How about a ‘protestor tax’? Every one of the paid (and the few unpaid) protestors must ante up to cover police overtime and damages to businesses, including lost wages.
now thats an idea right there I can get behind
Ghetto tumbleweeds
US Bureau of Labor Statistics informed me that the Consumer Price Index does not include any bag tax. They pointed out that there is no way for them to know how many bags would be needed for any particular item(s) purchased. Thus the tax doesn’t cause measured inflation.
25 cent tax for a bag? They already tax our food. How long before they tax the air we breathe? Why do Illinois residents keep electing these moronic fools?
When you are in the south, they give you paper bags without a charge and you aren’t limited to one just in case they are needed in the next apocalypse. All recyclable. So why not tell businesses they need paper bags? Plastic bags are a waste and stores try to give you as many as possible.
The Climate Clerics sold NPCs on plastic bags by claiming plastic bags would save trees getting cut down…
Great idea. Genius work there. I bet they needed a demfilth think tank to come up with it.
State Rep. Laura Faver Dias, D-Karen, loves confiscating money from Illinoisans almost as much as Little Ralphie Martire does. The gas tax hikes weren’t enough. The toll tax isn’t enough. The out-of-control property taxes aren’t enough. Nope. Any justification is good with political animal scoundrels like Loony Laura here. This karen wants to impose yet another item on business owner to-do lists. Yet another tax to be audited and collected by highly compensated and pensioned IDOR personnel.
Just stop it, karen. We have had quite enough from you and your Epstein-plane-riding governor, JB the Hutt.
Just what we need…another friggin tax in IL. FOOK JaBba Pritzker and all of these thieving democrats/commie basTURDS!
Yet the sheeple keep electing them to office because they hate the orange man and anything that doesn’t have DEI involvement.
Its not the people, its those that count the votes. Why else would they fight tooth and nail to stop anyone from seeing the voter rolls.
