Chicago Tax Hike and LSD Tollway

       Not only has the state of Illinois passed a bill to increase toll pricing by a disgusting 87% this past summer, they are thinking about adding a TOLLWAY to Chicago's well known Lake Shore Drive. At first I laughed about it because of how the government looks at people. They treat us like a bunch of cows. They just want to milk us dry. Not only are they thinking about doing that, they have many other plans.

      Chicago inspector General Joseph Ferguson came up with the idea's for our city along with putting a city income tax into place. To accompany this, laying off 100's of workers in the process to cut overhead. Rahm Emmanuel seems to like the idea. He also likes the idea of increasing ambulance fees. Yes, if you are dying and in need to get to a hospital, they are going to charge you more. The increase amount is not yet known but the idea's are on paper. While un-employment is still on an up-hill trend and food stamps are now given out to 48 million people in the U.S., we can really see how corrupt even a city government can be. Chicago is known to be one of the most corrupt cities in the U.S.
 
     We Chicagoan's, already have to pay the highest sales tax in the country. We are also number 6 in tollways soon possibly to climb up if they implement it on Lake Shore Drive. Is this fair? You decide. I am just wondering what will they think of next?
