-- 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.
The program is capped at $15 million, they expect to have 14,000 winners in their lottery. That leaves 1 million for the cost to go through claims. One Million Dollars. And they require proof of identity- the very thing they insist voters shouldn’t have to do.
Simple truth is tax more and you get less. Drive along Cicero Ave. anywhere it is the border between Chicago and a suburb. Note the difference in gas price and which stations get more business to confirm this. People act in their own self interest.
How much of this tax relief will go to the suburban homeowners? Or is it only for Chicago?
Bullshit. It will only feed your tax kitty.
100% bullshit. Growing property tax revenue is always, always, always, matched by new ideas for spending the additional revenue and to further fund existing programs. The only way to reduce property taxes is growing tax revenue from true expansion of the tax base from economic vitality while doing public pension reform and cutting non essential spending, neither of which ever happen. The way it was, the way it is, the way it always will be.
Yours is a great comment and especially true for Illinois and Cook County. Their budgets are always bloated and almost always increasing. Mismanagement and responsible stewardship of property taxpayer funds are mutually exclusive.
I will bet that never happens. Lower taxes is a pipe dream at best. I take the bet side that taxes will go higher, and higher every year for generations to come.
What a bunch of horsepucky, all of the solutions
do not stop the rising property taxes.
this program cannot work due to the size of the
pension problems and continuing crime
issue.
this equates to trying to put out a forest fire
with a bottle of water.
