RE: The New Game in Cook County, Illinois, USA - "Is My Drink Taxable?"
This is exactly why we don't need governments. They're not only useless, but they create more headaches than we would otherwise have and they simply destroy wealth.
Perhaps they should figure out why the various levels of government are broke and where their "services" have failed. Then maybe they could make the appropriate adjustments to their own habits and stop worrying about being nannies for all of their coerced subjects.
The $17 million lawsuit should be tossed, but I'm sure it will make its way through several courts - and waste even more extorted "taxpayer" money - before someone with some sense makes a fool of them.
Sigh...
You zeroed in on what's wrong here in Illinois - state, county, city of Chicago.
What they don't realize is that the exodus - in the form of businesses leaving, people leaving, and bad bond ratings - is just beginning. Once those in charge realize what has happened, it will be too late.
