Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
Politicians who don’t pay taxes want to raise everybody’s taxes while claiming they’re only raising taxes on the evil rich.
Politicians are rarely punished. ☹️?
Link gave the impression of being a trustworthy man of the people, while in reality being a person that does not believe he should pay his fair share. Less taxes paid by him, and he voted many times for more taxes to be paid by us. Yet people who always fill in the D circle on the ballot apparently like the hypocrisy. The people who always vote D cannot complain about taxes if they accept this. The good news is lower taxes in Wisconsin are only 18 miles away. Shop and eat out up there.
Kind of like a fat crooked toilet remover we all heard of
Hopefully the feds will catch up with all the democraps who are getting kickbacks
Well this means in the next election demoncrats will vote him back into office. He’s running against a Republican named Jesus Christ, who has been called “untrustworthy” by Links’ re-election campaign.
