OT: Work From Home

[HuskyHawk]

Pritzker is pushing a new progressive tax vote which he says won't effect 97% of people but it's all a sham. If this doesn't effect most people this time it will in the near future and this will just make the weathy leave Chicago and the wealthy burbs. Many would be okay with paying higher taxes if the money went towards balancing the budget and fixing the pension crisis but it's always the same. The politicians just look at it as a license to spend more of our money and they keep going to that well.

I have a couple of very wealthy friends in Chicago. They also have a home in the Utah mountains. Yeah, like they'd put Chicago down as place of employment if that goes through. They don't understand that they need to compete for these people.

We have the highest sales tax and highest property tax in the nation and what do we have to show for it? The worst fiscal crisis in the country and now he's playing his hand to push out all the high and mega high earners. It's easy to bash the mega rich but Chicago needs Ken Griffin.

I'll put the NJ property tax against Illinois any day.. that's a battle you don't want to win
