Number One!
And again, not for anything good :
Chicago’s 10.25% combined sales tax currently ranks second among major cities, behind only Seattle’s 10.35%, but a 0.25-point hike for transit will make them the highest in America.
The new Regional Transportation Authority funding bill, which increases the Chicago metro area sales tax by 0.25 percentage points, has passed both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly and now sits on Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s desk. Once signed, it will give Chicago the highest sales-tax rate of any major city in the nation at 10.5%.
And what do Chicagoans get for these massive taxes?
- failing schools
- rising property crime
- declining services
- less police coverage
- increasing wait times for ambulances
- fleeing businesses
And Conehead.

Vote democrat for more....
You forgot to add millions for illegal immigrants.
And Conehead. A feature of limitless value. And only for mere sheckles.
Man...I get that many people have family roots in Chiraq and/or picking up and moving your life elsewhere ain't the simplest thing...
But come on up to Wisco! Dive in, the water's fine...even at this time of year! Yeah, we have libtards up here too, but you'll save a fortune by living NORTH OF THE CHEDDAR CURTAIN!!!😆

Gov JB Obese went to Little Village to celebrate and gave a speech praising all the veterans there!
Chicago Teachers Union here...
It's for the kids.....
And people still vote for these clowns. Every democratic city is being turned into a third world country.
Just so I understand this... nothing is really free because someone (tax payers) has to pay for it? Huh ? This really confuses me. Do the socialists know about this concept ?
All provided to you by your Democrat Party Leaders.
Also murder capital of America and top 5 for both rats and bed bugs.
You forgot to mention high restaurant tabs......and you'll get a dirty look if don't tip 20% more....
I can’t wait to get out of this state!
I am at the point of no return
Yeah but at least we have what may be the most bloated, self-serving public organization in the nation, the CTU.
7% combined state and county sales tax in my current state of residence. Property taxes on two homes in county is 1900ドル. What do I get? Zero crime, English speaking neighbors, good weather, friendly people who identify as Americans and recognize the gender God gave them at birth. Couldn’t maintain standard of living if I stayed in Illinoiz and especially Shitcago.
Are you surprised? The liberal democrat solution to every problem is to raise taxes. That is what they do best. I even think they get their rocks off doing it.
Down the downpipe.
They have tried very hard to normalize their complete failure to govern effectively and have people just accept this mess.
I felt that these taxes were too high when they reached 9 percent. They raised them several times again without even mentioning waste, fraud, and abuse.
Like an earlier poster said, it's all for the children. This city is a dystopian blue democratic hellhole.
The only plan of the Dems is to preserve the messed up status quo.
No one is going to want to visit an expensive overly taxed city like this. Neither will business want to move here. Residents and business already are leaving. Thanks Conehead and Fatso...
You forgot to note that Illinoisans get to pay the highest property taxes in ALL 50 states because the almost top 10 income tax and high sales taxes aren’t enough. Illinois is one of a handful of states that also has a state estate tax - the minimum threshold is 1/4 of the level that assets are taxed at the federal level.
Any veterans group that let these assholes politcize their event is fucked up...
Grocery stores typically earn a1% to 3% profit given all their risks. Government takes no risks and confiscates up to10.50% in sales taxes plus property taxes. And the government's money is guaranteed. No risk for government, just an affirmative vote is all it takes to fleece the working class again and again by your elected representatives.
I have Chicago Fatigue...
Definitely not the highest. It’s 10.75 right here where I live, a San Francisco East Bay city. Another demo controlled area.
The younger coppers in this day and age no there’s camera phones. There’s cameras everywhere you can’t see being recorded and then you do stupid shit like this incredible incredibly stupid.

The police will never get any of these funds. It will all go to the phoney DEI programs, fake job hires, NGOs and donors.
Bla, bla, bla, .... sooner or later, running out of other people’s money... bla, bla, bla...
But these dipshits here who vote don’t pay attention.
Yeah it’s also 10.75% in Cicero right next door.
Conehead number 1 in spending more money on grooming ,more money on his personal bodyguards than any other mayor. Other than that he’s a number 2 💩
Can’t believe coppers still get turnt up in public. Not smart.
Soon, only union workers will be left around.
You are confusing the favorite name of moochers with the accurate name of moochers.
"the children" = the moochers.
Isnt Killinois right up as one of the top 5 highest taxed states? So even with a good job, your dolllars are taxed at about 20-24% Federal, 3% State tax, real estate taxes to county at 10-20% of "specified" value, any dollars left to spend taxed at 10.5%.....what’s left at the end of the mandatory taxes? Not a hell of a lot. Gotta pay for the FreeShitArmy.
