Secede from Cook County!

Fantastic, leave it to the democrats in Chicago to up the tax base again for the outlying suburbs. Kudos to Palatine for trying to secede from the county. Hope Oberweiss gets voted in on Saturday.

So what am I gonna do about it? Simple I live 10 minutes away from Lake County. They will see quite a boom from other families that have better things to do than pay for sales tax. For those friends of mine further south, you're on your own.

Too bad Wheeling can't sucede, but its not like we buy much from our hometown. Maybe Arlington Heights and the second half of Buffalo Grove can too. In fact, let all the suburbs break up and join other counties or make a county that lies all around Cook county and be lower taxed. They're always trying to make us pay their outrageous taxes. They're even trying to get all county residents to get a parking sticker even if you have to have a village one. Not that Wheeling has one, but I understand more taxes/fees = bad.

I'll now take an opportunity to flaunt the superior economic doctrine of the GOP. Less taxes doesn't mean less taxes for the government. Less taxes actually brings in new people! Employment increases! That and they have to spend a whole lot less to bribe companies to come to the county/city. Why should only the rich get tax benefits? Sure they have more political power than the not-so-wealthy but why shouldn't they? Money talks. I used to think the whole concept of money like the whole Star Trek Federation system would be best, but if you don't get any benefit to working harder than anyone else, willing to make sacrifices for monetary gain, why should anybody not be that slacker? Moral objections aside, I can't see a single reason not to slack off, watch TV, and live off welfare if I got the same amount of money as those CEO's that own super huge corporations. I sure did get off track!
