-- 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.
Like when Preckwinkle taxed pop, everyone with a car went and got pop out of the county. The inner city suffered for it. Of course they re-elected her
When they implemented the nickel per bottle tax in 2008 I started buying all my water in the suburbs, just like gas. All the projections are wrong.
Taxing the vices is at least optional for citizens to pay. If they don’t gamble, smoke or buy edibles, they don’t pay that tax. Taxing water hits the people they purport to defend the hardest, the lower income citizens of the city for a basic necessity. (Especially if they have lead pipes not yet replaced by the city.) If they are looking for money, why not tax toilet flushes? Or impose a tax on the sidewalk as commuters are walking to work? Will they finally realize they need to cut the bloat?
Illinois will end up taxing anything and everything. With all that they still will not have the change of a nickel. Pension costs are just exploding and increasing every year. Illinois constitution will not allow them to be diminished in anyway. So, pay and pay some more or just burn rubber out of the state.
