A Frightening Future For Chi-town

Today a frightening story about the future of Chicago which used to be “my kind of town.” For those of you who are not aware, I am from Chicago. I was born at St. Anne’s hospital on Chicago’s west side as was our first child. Back in the day I drove a cab in the city in order to make ends meet. Within the past ten years my wife and I have visited Chicago as tourists and five years ago brought three grandchildren to Chicago to celebrate their graduations.

But no more! 

We also considered purchasing a time-share at the Drake Hotel on Michigan Ave. But no more! Covid saved us! Whew! 

We used to fly into Chicago’s Midway airport, but when Southwest began to fly to O’Hare, we began flying there. That switch was because our friends and family lived north of the city, and O’Hare was much closer to our destinations than Midway.

But, no more!

From now on we will fly to Milwaukee. … Why?

The new ultra-progressive mayor of Chicago just came out with his plan to destroy, err “save” Chicago.

From Tom Bevan on POWERLINE on 5/17/23:

Progressive allies of Mayor Brandon Johnson have released a financial blueprint titled – and I’m not joking – “First We Get the Money” calling for $12 billion in new taxes, including:

“Head tax” of $33 per worker for companies with 50+ employees

Quadrupling the tax on jet fuel.

3.5% income tax on households making $100K+

0.4% “wealth tax” for the top 10% of city earners.

$1-2 transaction tax for financial exchanges.

If the plan was to destroy businesses in Chicago, then this plan might work quite well! “If you tax them, they will leave!”

However, the coup de grâce:

The plan also calls for eliminating all current vacant positions at the Chicago Police Department AND cutting the CPD budget by 9%!

How frightening is that! What does the new enlightened mayor think will happen with even less police? … Hmmm!
