Being Chicago’s worst mayor ever is a notable achievement and Mayor Brandon Johnson is looking to cement that win by trying to stage the city’s first ever government shutdown.
Granted, shutting down Chicago’s government could hardly make it any worse (there’s a reason they set The Dark Night in Chicago), but Mayor Johnson’s cause is particularly mad. Like most radicals, Johnson wants more money to spend on his various causes and grafts, but the city is short of money and just about everything you can tax has already been taxed.
(Chicago innovated a Netflix tax. The current rate is 9% on streaming services.)
Since Chicago’s economy isn’t wrecked enough, Mayor Johnson is adamant about passing a ‘head tax’ on companies that hire employees. It doesn’t take a genius economist to figure out why this is a bad idea. You tax things that you either want to suppress (sin taxes) or things people can’t do without (income taxes) but companies can do without employees. At least in Chicago.
With AI beginning to kick in, this seems like the worst possible time to persuade companies to lower their number of employees.
But Mayor Brandon Johnson claims he’s fighting for working people and how better than to take the government hostage in order to deprive them of their work?

How much wealth is this scum sucking bottom feeder Mayor Johnson accumulating with Chicago tax payers? And why is that white woman barfing in the picture?
Is there some medieval drum beats this cabal is shucking and jiving to?
We had one half black half assed and totally despising the USA and Jews president and pro terrorist Iran.
And this treasonous ex-POTUS is making videos disparaging President Trump, which is unprecedented for former POTUSs to be yammering about the current POTUS.
Obama is tied to Chicago and no doubt part of its corruption as must be terrified for the treason he committed has been found out and is being investigated. Although I do not hold my breath Obama and the Clintons and the rest of the vile satanic pekkerhead honiacs will be indicted.
” It doesn’t take a genius economist to figure out why this is a bad idea.” it doesn’t take a genius economist to recognize the road to prosperity is not paved with tariffs. We’ve had a trade deficit, i.e. a capital account surplus, for 50 years. Maybe some expert can explain how we are made wealthier as a result of our government preventing us from buying where it’s cheapest.

Look the a-only reason the US can run continual trade deficits is because the dollar is a reserve currency.. When it is not, trade deficits cause hyper inflation.
Thank you for your non-understanding and trolling
