Mayor Brandon Johnson pushes progressive revenue plans, including a millionaire’s tax – WGNTV (Chicago)

“I’ve provoked this conversation for some time – the millionaire’s tax, the digital ad tax, these are progressive tax proposals that could help provide real relief to working people across the city of Chicago and, quite frankly, across the country,” Johnson said. “That’s what’s important in this moment, that we are providing tax relief for working people, critical services for working people, that we’re providing critical services for the city and the state.”

Hmm…….do millionaires do any work? If so, are they considered people? If so I guess they’d be people that work or working people too.

 (Chicago Mayor) Johnson said. “That’s what’s important in this moment, that we are providing tax relief for working people, critical services for working people, that we’re providing critical services for the city…”? You mean like educating Chicago’s kids?
The achievement scores would say otherwise, maybe you can get the standards lowered again while giving Stacy Davis Gates more money to continue the failure.

Great idea. Please do it. Jam that foot on the accelerator as you head at breakneck speed toward that granite wall. But hey, how bout those bears? idiots.

NO to a progressive income tax, they will come for the millionaires first (before they all move out) and then your next!
