Quiet Down Peasants!
- With gangland shootings becoming an every-day occurrence in Chicago, the Board of Commissioners in surrounding Cook County is trying anew to tackle the deadly problem -- with another tax.
But already, some are questioning whether the move is more about making a statement than addressing the violence.
Under the new law, Cook County is charging an additional $25 tax on every handgun sold inside county lines.
Gun shop owner Fred Lutger said this fee targets legal gun buyers, and not the gangsters responsible for many of Chicago's homicides.
Well, you know Preckwinkle wouldn't want to actually tax gangbangers. They don't have jobs, they don't have futures, and they have a lot of guns, so it wouldn't make sense to ask them to come up with money.
But Joe Schmo taxpayer? Get the money from him.
Of course, Econ 101 comes into play here - something Preckwinkle never studied:
- Opponents of the law, though, warn that the tax could backfire -- by driving buyers and even businesses out of Cook County.
Preckwinkle said she would be "astonished" if businesses actually left Cook over the tax.
But County Commissioner Tim Schneider said: "I think we're astonished many times when businesses leave the county, but they do."
Cook County has been down this road before. There is a tax on bottled water -- one of the highest sales taxes in the country. An increase in the cigarette tax fell dramatically short of projected revenue because tobacco store owners hoarded up the tax stamps before the increase went into effect.
Not to mention the thousand of people who just end up going over the border into Indiana or surrounding counties. Moron politicians.

AULD LANG SYNE CHICAGO VERSION "COLD GANGS SIGN"
When gunshots ring to steal your bling
Give it up don't say "it's mine"
They'll stomp you till your life you cling
This is all a Cold gangs' sign
They'll knock you down just as you text
Cause your phone was oh so fine
You'll never know what hit you next
This is just a Cold gangs' sign
Should home invasions be forgot
Bolt the doors and get your nine
Then fire until they all be shot
It's another Cold gangs' sign
For Cold gangs' sign my dear
For Cold gangs' sign
The chair we'd cheer
To end our fear
Say farewell to Cold gangs' sign
The baby's daddy, momma too
Wait for all their checks in line
We all know that the blame's on you
Cause you taught the Cold gangs' sign
They rape and kill just for the thrills
Beatings make your eyes all shine
The revruns say they have no skills
They're all part of Cold gangs' sign
The politicians want the vote
With the thugs they all aline
For generations they took note
Now they love the Cold gangs' sign
For Cold gangs' sign my dear
For Cold gangs' sign
The chair we'd cheer
To end our fear
Say farewell to Cold gangs' sign
Retired 2010
Haven't shopped in Cook County since they passed that bottled water tax and raised all the others.
DuPage County, just a quick drive from my Chicago home and taxes are 7.25%
I don't mind driving 70 miles to Dekalb county for my purchases. I don't buy here unless I have to.
Mike Tobin is pro police and military. Even started an event to help wounded soldiers.
"Preckwinkle said she would be "astonished" if businesses actually left Cook over the tax."
Yeah, well, every day is a new beginning for some people, if you know what I mean.
Lemme tie up this unicorn over here by the gumdrop tree.
...and damned if I didn't just hear from an old friend who's moved into an adjacent state. Likes to ride a bike.
"[I have a]Trek 40. The company started giving out...service gifts...before I retired. I picked the bike. I usually carry my .380 when I ride. Old guy on a new bike could attract the wrong kind of attention. But then about everyone I know carries and the crime rate here is very, very low."
"Coincidence?"
Must be.

Well, chicago crook county isn't known for smart politicians. I haven't bought bottled water in chicago in many years and just about everyone I know buys most of their products outside cook county. My family is buying an Apple I-PAD for around $900 and we will be driving to Oak Brook, IL to avoid the high cook county tax. I buy all my firearms and ammo in Dupage or other collar counties now. I haven't purchased gas in chicago in at least 10 years. I never buy alcohol in chicago because there is a $1.75 chicago tax per case on top of the crook county tax. Go to the Niles COSO and avoid the tax. In the last 5 years all 6 of my family members have moved out of chicago and only one remains in cook county now. It's really sad what the politicians have done to cook county over the years. Very dumb leaders.
I have no idea why anyone would purchase a firearm in cook county now? There are so many gun shops outside cook county where the consumer could save good money. Cook county is a horrible place to do business.
"Gangland?" "Gangsters?" Boy, fast fallback to the imagery of the 1920s, huh?
It must be anything but what it is. Anything! Anything at all! Please!
I recently moved my business out of Cook County and relocated to Pennsylvania. So much nicer out here with 6% sales tax. My customers like that!!
Cook county is going to fall apart in the next few years. More businesses are leaving and the idiot politicians keep coddling the useless illegals and gang bangers.
Bensenvill is in DuPage county just west of O'Hare on Irving Park Rd. The city knows where Bensenville is, they paid big money for a cemetary there.
Has she said "It's for the children" yet?
rb
Bass Pro Shops. lake county. done.
They just installed a new RED LIGHT CAMERA at the S/W corner of HARLEM and NORTH Avenue. It's in River Forest but I would bet Rahm has his hand in this and there will be more as this evil man keeps going.
Think about the children my ass.
Every time I hear cook county is raising taxes it just reminds me why I never buy anything in cook anymore.
I buy gas and cigarettes in Indiana and sometimes I go to Lake County, Il. These democrats and their God Damn taxes.
Of course she'd be astonished if businesses left Cook County because of the tax. Maybe because there are what, 15 or 20 gunshops in Cook County?
I think preckwinkle might be in the gun business herself. Think about!!!!
Remember, 99% of those gangbangers are Democrats so they are not to be taxed or bothered by our slimebag county Presidents. She done need those votes
Why shop in Chicago or Cook County ? Travel a few more miles to a non socialist town/county and save money, plus you'll be a lot safer. Chicago/cook county caters to the thug element, they need the votes.
The evil cabbage patch kid can levy all the tax she wants, smart folks will shop elsewhere.
Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, has more levels of government with the power to levy taxes against the citizens than any other state in the U.S.
Many of these taxing bodies are either completely unnecessary or bloated with elected officials and/or additional employees to the point that they have become totally ineffective. Many duplicate services that are provided by other levels of government (eg. IDOT & The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority or ISTHA) and some seem to be purely in place to provide executive level jobs and salaries to people with political or mob ties. Gotta tax the peasants to pay those big salaried and connected bureaucrats!
Any wonder Illinois is the MOST CORRUPT STATE in the U.S.?
Lake county is republican. Buy there.
Preckwinkle is an idiot. She's got bodies turning to mush over at the morgue and has no clue on how to deal with even that issue.

GET READY - HERE IT COMES!
Federal Program Ends Dec. 29; Regular Unemployment Continues
IDES Faces 20 Percent Federal Budget Cut
CHICAGO - A list of public and private programs to assist individuals losing unemployment insurance because the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program ends Dec. 29 is available at the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES).
The compiled data at www.ides.illinois.gov/resources offers guidance for citizens and Veterans who might need assistance with food, clothing or shelter. The list represents often-used programs and is not meant to be exhaustive. Also at the website are tips for those considering starting their own business.
An estimated 90,000 people who worked in Illinois are eligible for the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program, which represents weeks 26-53 of the unemployment insurance safety net. The EUC program ends Dec. 29. The state regular unemployment insurance program continues. The state program represents the first 25 weeks of unemployment insurance. After Dec. 29, approximately 2,800 people each week will complete their eligibility for the state's regular program and not have access to the federal EUC.
Further, IDES is federally funded and funding is partly tied to the number of people collecting unemployment. That number will fall because federal EUC ends ($16M cut) and there are fewer people collecting the state's regular unemployment ($11M cut). When combined with potential cuts from the fiscal cliff ($17M cut), IDES' budget could be cut $44 million annually, or about 20 percent. These cuts come at a time when the numbers of claims remain 38 percent higher than prior to the recession. The cuts represent operational costs, not benefits.
To live within its budget, IDES already has non-scheduled 216 intermittent employees, consolidated eight offices and vacated 10 outpost locations shared with partners. The federal cuts might necessitate further service reductions, including additional office consolidations.
The unemployment rate identifies those who are out of work and seeking employment. A person who exhausts benefits, or is ineligible, still will be reflected in the unemployment rate if they actively seek work. Unemployment insurance is a temporary program designed to help individuals and businesses during economic downturns. Every $1 in unemployment insurance generates $1.63 in economic activity because the dollars are quickly spent at neighborhood businesses such as groceries, gas stations and clothing stores.

OT:
TAX BREAKS - THE SCAM THAT KEEPS RAPING US.
Ever think about why these tax breaks that they pass have an expiration date on them?
That's so they can play a numbers game and keep raping the taxpayers.
See, it works like this.
They pass a tax break with an expiration date say two, three, four years out maybe.
Then when it comes time to estimate the budget, and the debt that they put us under they use the current laws and run the budget forecast for maybe ten years or more.
Welp, according to the law the tax break is suppose to expire in say three years. So the political apparatus uses that expiration date as though it's going to happen -- then when calculating years 4 to 10 let's say since the tax break is suppose to expire the government will have more money coming in in years 4 to 10.
But it's a scam. Doing this they can say that we'll have a balance budget in "x" years.
However when you keep extending the tax breaks all that is bullshit
The government never sees that additional income when the tax break expires because they keep extending it so there will be no balanced budget.
Fiscal Cliff will be more of the same. Pass the tax break for three more years then pretend like it will really expire and project that this new Grand Plan is going to save us all in 20 years bringing the debt to zero.
It's just kicking the can down the road doing the same thing over and over.
Get it?
Two million people about to get kicked off their extended unemployment and 90,000 of them are in Illinois.
Downstate the Mississippi River is shutting down due to the drought, it's too shallow to navigate. Google it.
Millions of dollars worth of commodities travel that river. Expect another loss of about 20,000 jobs.
I'm not sure how Illinois Nuc Reactors used to generate electricity will hold up. During the summer the cooling water in the pools that cool these things fell below their collection pipes and some of them had to get special authorization to keep running them.
The Fed Payroll Tax decrease that Illinois stolen via the State income tax increase. Well that goes back hitting everyone's paycheck in Illinois reducing their take home pay by 2%
Remember, Rahms budget number games are dependent on an improving economy. Think we'll get it?
CTA fare increases of 16%. Parking increases of 13%. tax-tax-tax then cut everyone's income by 2%. BAM!
Well maybe we now need a tax for any business that leaves crook county, and since they started their business here maybe they should keep paying taxes to crook county because crook county made them what they are today. Lets put gates around crook county so they can search your car and tax anything you bought outside of crook county.
Toni should tax battery offenders, starting with her own son...
Pay no attention to the person behind the curtain sheeple.
This is evil. This woman is a female version of Robert Mugabe. Leave the state if you have the means.
classic cook county - economic profiling...
Could it be that Peckerwinkle has banger support?
She's trying to depopulate the jail, why would any correct thinking person put criminals back on the street, violent or not. If your being housed then there is a reason that the aren't let out on I bond.
Plenty of gun shops outside Crook County, which is Prickwrinkled's plan all along to force the Crook County shops to go out of business.
On my way to Bensenville in a few to get gas and smokes, just like i have been doing the last 4-5 years!
Screw Crook County!!
They may as well tax the people who have been shot but had their lives saved at a hospital in Cook County.
How about a $1,000 tax levied on every gang banger who has been shot and saved but refuses to cooperate with the police or prosection of the offenders?
Oooooh can't do that . . . . they vote democratic
I enjoy living outside of that shithole. HAHAHAHA !
It never ceases to amaze me that shit like this is what the "best and brightest" come up with to solve any given problem.
Preckwinkle is an open Racist. Remember, she has consistently pushed for changes in laws and enforcement because she feels too many young men of color end up in jail and prison. I was at Shore's Gallery last week, he is one of the largest gun dealers in the County, and he is letting his inventory go down and is about to relocate. His staff won't say what is going on, but it is obvious that between Obamacare and these new taxes, small businesses will leave or cease to operate.
FOID is statewide. A quick hop on I-80 for a cheaper weapon, with lower taxes.No problem.
Probably stop in one of those little bars for a good burger and beer too.
Well, let's see what Mike Masters thinks since he was miraculously allowed to wear a weapon inside the Cook County Building as if he was a law enforcement officer.
Word is at headquarters, several phone calls were made by County employees complaining of seeing this little guy walking the halls with a gun, as if he was bigger than life itself. Headquarters had to redirect the calls to the Sheriffs office.
Funny thing, since he was never a policeman, does he even know the Use of Force Model? One day, someone is going to seek his assistance and he's going to have to say, "sir/mam, I'm not a policeman or the Sheriff, your going to have to call 9-1-1."
Pretty soon chicago will be a barron wasteland. The only ones left criminals and city workers.....obviously bc we have no choice. This county is doomed god i hate it here.
We need to get rid of all the deadwood on the Cook County Board.
They are so out-of-touch it isn't even funny anymore.
Let's start making the criminals pay for their behavior - not the law-abiding citizen.
If you commit a crime, you AND your family are cut off of ALL public aid, Food Stamps and free cellphones.
Stop coddling criminals while you hassle taxpayers.
That also goes for the suburban police who won't stop a gang banger but will stop a white driver to give a speeding ticket to help make their suburb's "quota" for their municipal budget shortfall.
Cops should be cops - not agents for the Sheriff of Nottingham "collecting a tax" while you drive through their suburb.
(AND please, don't say "just drive slower" because there are many places that drop from 45 to 25 or 30 just to catch someone doing "15 over" so they can "collect their tax".)
Same goes for redlight cameras - touted to be "real revenue generators" for the suburbs until the public gets so fed up they threaten to boycott Woodfield - all of a sudden the cameras disappeared on Meachem Rd.
I love the Gander Mountain store in Hoffman Estates but quit shopping there two years ago because of Cook County taxes. When they opened that store I thought it was stupid of that company to build in Cook County.
Let them charge $25 more per gun -that just drives business over to the gun stores "across the county line".
Great example is Cabela's in Hoffman Estates. Why pay 10% Cook County Sales tax when you can go to GAT GUNS just down the street in Kane County or to Marengo Guns?
Cabela's has closed up its second floor because business has not been what they thought it would be.
GAT GUNS is building a $5 Million addition. Business has been great.
And sales tax doesn't make a difference on where you buy?
Wake up.
Chicago and Cook County are headed in the same downward spiral as Detroit.
Greedy politicians who don't have a clue in what to do for regional economic development except to raise taxes to pay for all their patronage (relatives') jobs.
Off Topic a bit......
"Rham's (Chicago's)new electricity supplier INTEGRYS ENERGY, will begin supplying service to all residents by Jan 10 by default. Customers must be proactive TO OPT OUT AND to CONTINUE WITH COM ED by calling or going online.
the city's agreement calls for cleaner energy by eliminating COAL from the fuel mix. Really? Eliminating Illinois coal (JOBS) from the mix? More lib/dem bullshit from these assholes. I'll stay with
ComEd...a few pennies more a month won't bother me....If 9.5 sponsored this I'm out...pass it around.
Sheeet! Looks like the price of my rocks just went up. I gots to pay for each of my Gats, well thats just BS but the law is the law.
Yesterday I bought package of water which contained 35 half liter bottles at the cost was $3.58. After I was home looking at the receipt I noticed $1.50 tax for the water, that is nearly 50 percent tax! This county, city and state is so messed up I can't wait to move but I can't yet but if I didn't work for the city I would be gone. Who would want to stay here if they could leave, all they do is continue to tax us for all the money the politicians spend wherever they want, I'm so disgusted.
Yeah, like "5 Brothers" grocery store charging 29 cents tax on a 24 ounce bottle of Pepsi Cola.
Dumb MFers
Quick fix..21 miles or 20 minutes to Cabelas, Hammond IN... No tax.
My other home is in central Wisconsin. All of my neighbors display their long guns in cabinets or racks in the living room like works of art. I asked my wife if she could remember of any gun crimes here...she couldn't remember of any either..
Where's the Tax on Dangerous rap music that incites violence? Where's the tax on any clothing sold in the county that happens to be gang colors?
Where's the tax on extra baggy crotch jeans?
Not to mention the thousand of people who just end up going over the border into Indiana or surrounding counties. Moron politicians.
===================================
moron...politician...one and the same.
Cook county mantra: tax, tax and more tax. And if that doesn't work----tax.
Let's ask Toni how her son's criminal case is coming along? He is just another ghetto thug.
I did all my Christmas shopping in Indiana, South lake mall and Cabellas, 7% sales tax, fill up the tank and grab extra cases of water and beer. Even if it costs me some time I always feel so much better.
I never shop in cook county for anything. It's easy enough to go to Hodgkins & Countryside for everything I need.
(Ot) read elsewhere o the log about junkyard that is permitted already thanks to lipinski-zalewski-Ed burke connection,located at 6200 w 51st, in a residential community wonder who to paid off this time? And the steeple keep electing these idiots, you know why zalewski had the 23rd ward split up,by Burke and madigan? Simple zalewski could not even get 51% of the vote! Maybe we should of elected chuck maida last time! Strangely as soon as Burke takes over junkyard is approved! I know it is in forest view/central stickney across from new 14th ward. But you think lipinski with all his power could of stopped it, but Danny lipinski is not his father,Danny is a weak reminder of who we elected! Property values just fell another 20% and watch the thefts go way up. Zalewski how's that riverboat gambling? How's the new acura you bought out of campaign funds is that legal?
I used to come into the city at least once a month from the south burbs to shop with the wife and go out to eat. It has been over 2 years since we have set foot in that Shitcago. This is due to high parking rates, overpriced meals, insane taxes and gang bangers all over the place. I plan on never setting foot there or spending a dollar there again....
That is one seriously dumb and corrupt woman. Kind of like Daley, but black and a woman.
" SODASTREAM "
Available online to make your own soda pop; comes with 1 liter bottles, and assorted flavors, no empty cans or bottles to throw away, got sugar free too if you have the " sugars ".
Tax on plastic bottles, tax on soda, tax on carbonated water, F**K these tax-aholic politicians.
I'll shop anywhere but Chicago, and get immense satisfaction knowing my money isn't part of that $ 55 million Maggie Park.
I bought a gun from Fred Lutger a few months ago. With this tax in place, however, it will be the last one I buy from him or anyone else in crook county. There are plenty of other shops in the surrounding area. Sorry Toni, you fucking troll.

I shop in Indiana. I think I'll be moving there soon.
To 12:54. the red light camera is on the northwest corner facing the s/b traffic. River Forest side only.
I will be moving to Chicago nest month. I'm looking for a nice condo in either the Englewood or Garfield Park neighborhoods. Any tips?
Prickwrinkle is as stupid as she looks. Thats pretty damn dumb. Yes buisness will leave crook county.We have cars, we drive to other counties to do our shopping. So F-U Prickwrinkle another studious move on the part of a branch of government that we don't need!

The Red Light Cameras are Mayor Daley Cams. The Speed Cameras are Rhammie the Commie Cams. The two little midgets who could.
Between the Sanctuary City and growing gang problem spilling into former safe areas, the City is done for.
As soon as I can retire, I'm outta here and possibly the US.
I buy everything I can in DeKalb, Kane, or DuPage counties - except for the occasional oddball groceries or last-minute stuff more easily found here. Restaurants are about the only thing I patronize here, and most of them are within a few miles of my house.
I think I last bought gas in Chicago maybe 7 years ago.

It's interesting to look at some state's tax rates:
For instance:
Maryland/Michigan 6% state, no local.
Oregon,Delaware,Montana,New Hampshire: No state, no local.
Wisconsiin 5 state, up to 1.5% local.
Now, we can't survive in this state w/o bottled water, gun, soda pop, etc etc taxes. WTF is wrong here?!?!?!
havent bought smokes in crook county for years...just drive down irving past o'hare and york road and there are all sorts of tobacco shops...and the citgo gas station has L&M cartons for 36 bucks and gas is always 10-20 cents cheaper too.lot of liquor stores too.as you can tell i lead quite a healthy lifestyle.
just bought a car for my daughter and when i went to the currency exchange for plates and title change the lady told me the county has a tax now on the transfer of $175 if u live in crook county.What does the county have to do with the states respondsibilty.Can t wait to leave this shit city and county.Place run by convicts.
All smokers should go out of the county to buy their smokes. Don't give Crook County one cent. The taxes on cigarettes are ridiculous!!
They will never realize that there is a tax saturation point. It happened in 1775.
Just left Cabela's in Hammond most of their ammo is sold out. I never buy anything in Chicago anymore
I smoke cigars and I buy them online from JRcigar.com,no county or state sales tax!!
I haven't bought anything in the city - voluntarily for decades. Once, I figured I had enough gas to get back to Lake County - but didn't - so I bought 2 gallons in Shitcago - I felt dirty doing it, but didn't want to get shot by some banger...
Crook County Government is bullshit - they need to go. Chicago City Government - VOTE THE FUCKERS OUT. Audit ALL the votes - any fraud = a good old fashioned Chicago Tune Up of the fuckers who perpetrate it.
Then next up - the imbeciles in Springfield. It's time to take back our State... one elected office at a time. VOTE THEM OUT!

Many non-perishable items can be bought for less on Amazon, no sales tax and they bring it to your door, 2nd day delivery for free with Amazon Prime.
Why should I give Prenckwinkle money? Sorry for Cook County gun stores but I go out of Cook County for all gun and ammo purchases. Whiting Indiana for gas, I don't smoke cigarettes and J&R Cigars delivers my cigars with no sales tax.
If I did smoke cigarettes, I know the convenience stores in my district that will sell me non-taxed cigarettes from their private stash. Good luck finding them Prenkwinkle.
Fuck this shithole County.

Sure, for an up front fee, in cash, I will find you one.
The second admendment cleary states your right to bear arms shall not be INFRINGED upon. Id say cook countys agressive tactics to go after gun owners and gun buisnesses can be called infringment. Whether it be an agenda or in the name of public safety, Let's be honest this is another example of the government/media complex trying to throw out the constitution and control the people how the see fit, forgetting that they work for the people. Chicago is the perfect example of how our democracy has turned into a medival fedual system of kings and peasants.

I do the same thing if I'm running low. Have a Prius so I put a gallon or two in to tide me over until I can get out of Cook Cty!
I forget if the bottled water tax is a city or county thing. Either way, are we the only city/county in the country to have this assinine tax?
What's going to happen is Detroit is going to be revitalized and Chicago will take Detroit's place.

And here, on display for all of you to see, is the type of idiot whom the democrats love. He'll bitch a little when prompted, then he takes action by protest purchasing IN COOK COUNTY!
You go Sparky! You really stuck it to the man there! I would tell you to go get your shine box, but you would just trip over yourself.
Got to Gat Guns...... make it a family day of it, drop the wife off at wood field, then drive about 7-10 minutes to Beverly rd exit and make a rt. to Higgins turn left and make a left on rt 25. Avoid all cook county taxes and shop/shoot in a nice, clean facility. Cabela is real nice too but thy are in crook county so Gat is worth the extra 7-10 min. drive. And they have a second floor filled with weapons and accessories.

What an idiot. You're better off in Crook Cty, since you can't be trusted to think on your own. let your politicians decide how you should live.
The unemployment rate identifies those who are out of work and seeking employment. A person who exhausts benefits, or is ineligible, still will be reflected in the unemployment rate if they actively seek work. Unemployment insurance is a temporary program designed to help individuals and businesses during economic downturns. Every $1 in unemployment insurance generates $1.63 in economic activity because the dollars are quickly spent at neighborhood businesses such as groceries, gas stations and clothing stores.
That is entirely BULLSHIT. There is no way for them to monitor who is cut off yet seeking employment, so they 'guesstimate' at a lower rate so it doesn't look as dismal. AND the $1.63 return is total bullshit. They are basing that on tax on the dollar spent , which includes the businesses tax and sales tax that the state gets, BUT what they fail to do is DEDUCT the $1.00 that was paid out from the same taxes. Its all bullshit skewing of the $$, just like the bailout for GM which will end up costing tax payers over $12 billion when its paid in full.
"...the city's agreement calls for cleaner energy by eliminating COAL from the fuel mix. Really? Eliminating Illinois coal (JOBS) from the mix? More lib/dem bullshit from these assholes. I'll stay with
ComEd...a few pennies more a month won't bother me....If 9.5 sponsored this I'm out...pass it around."

Yes, someone sure had all kinds of graphic anti-coal posters in those Decaux bus shelters. Photos of the stacks at Fisk/Crawford taken on a zero winter day when the hot air would give something to photograph. I watched those for years on a clear blue summer afternoon and there was very little to see, they ran as clean as anyone could.
A lot of the coal traffic wasn't even Illinois jobs, BNSF spent millions building "super railroad" into Powder River Basin in Wyoming to bring the best low-sulfur coal here. Still not good enough for Rahm/Greenpeace/"environmental racism" hispanoradicals. State Line plant in Indiana closed too. Have not seen anything about the loss of traffic/jobs on BNSF, CP, other railroads.
Let's buld windmills and shit while we insanely double and redouble the population. This isn't even running in place. Destructive social engineering.

I will be moving to Chicago nest month. I'm looking for a nice condo in either the Englewood or Garfield Park neighborhoods. Any tips?

A bullet proof body suit and steel helmet would come in handy.
I solved the problem with Shitcago and Crook county taxes. I retired and moved out of the county! Life is wonderful. Get the hell out while you can.
Just got back from the Farm and Fleet store. Way outside of Crook county. Place has a whole aisle of ammo on shelves. Like boxes of cereal at Jewel. Right next to the tractor parts. The Prick (or any good Democrat)would shit herself if she walked into this place.
They will never realize that there is a tax saturation point. It happened in 1775.
OMG! Too Funny!
I like gun racks. The best ones on TV were the ones Andy Taylor had in his Mayberry Sheriff's Office and the one the Cartwrights had at the Ponderosa.
The Cartwrights were some bad mother-fuckers. They never lost a fight one on one. They always shot straight. They had a tab at the local saloon. Ben had three wives and got rid of all three. They got all the hot chicks and never married them. They had money. Hop-Sing cooked for them.
Damn. I wish I was a Cartwright.
Dude--- Hodgkins and Countryside are both in Cook County . Time to invest in a map .
Farm and Fleet kicks ASS!
I wonder how many people here commenting on Paul Kersey's comments know who he is?
