Its really is crazy when you think about it. It doesn't make any sense.
Chicago has some of the highest taxes on the country, including sales,property,and income.
Chicago pays more for a gallon of gas then in some places of Hawaii because of the tax. I don't see where the money goes. We pay all these taxes and we are always in the red.
We have corruption running rampant in Illinois, with a pay to play mentality, ponzi schemes, and large scale imbezzeling. While the county hospitals are stuggling to stay open and adminster care, politicians are getting rich.
At the same time people are leeching off the system and state and get free money every month because they don't wan't to work. I work in the inner city and the line going into the Social Security Administration wraps around 2 blocks.
People who don't work have 6 kids and they all have cell phones, and a brand new pair of jordans on. On the same note a poor man can't get qualityheathcare becuase of budget cuts and short staff. I have a theory, if your are FAT then you are not poor.
Crook County: Has some of the richest and the poorest income per-household statistics in the country. There are to many varibles and Chicago as a city is about ready to collapse. The Olympics would of been a good thing for the economy, but at the same time widespread corruption involving construction deals would of broke out. Who can get fat off the Oylmpic lamb?
