“I’m doing my part to help Chicago collapse financially so that it will be better for future generations.”

It didn’t work HD. It’s richer than any time in the last 50 years. Is the growth unequal throughout the city? Yes. But the north side is rich, rich, rich now. People won’t even move to suburbs like Lake Forest because they prefer the city.

Amazing.

You make it sound like you work for The People’s Law Office.

But how many hundreds of thousands has Chicago lost in the last two, three decades? 7,000 is a nice start but needs a ways to go.

” But I’m sure you know better there sitting in your office chair not having to put any fucking effort into the situation.”

I put in my effort – I left the City and moved to the suburbs. I work out there most of the time too. I’m doing my part to help Chicago collapse financially so that it will be better for future generations.

No, the die was cast in the late 90s, and then glued down by li’l Richie’s quest for the Olympics, and the stupid 10 years contracts he doled out. Rahm (hypothetically) could eliminate most city services (like: fire department, police, etc) and we’d still not get a tax cut because of the hole that Richie dug.

Has Rahm been perfect from the perspective of the Chicago taxpayer? Not hardly, but you don’t seem to have any knowledge about why we are in the mess we live with.

“money earned by hard working lower middle class people”

Since when have you cared about the poorz??

I work hard so that f*cker can pay his cronies and lazy union retirees. Let’s see, more than 1 out of 3 city workers makes over $100,000. I also doubt the 7,000 employee “cuts” are real. The work was probably just shifted to outside companies with whom Rahm is friends with the owners. He could easily have cut things and we could have avoided these astronomical property tax hikes. Instead, he chose the easy route and raked in a ton of money earned by hard working lower middle class people.

Bullshit. They never ADVERTISE that they cut spending. But the fact is the number of municipal employees working for the City of Chicago has declined by over 7,000 in the last decade. Rahm has gone after sweetheart water deals, sweetheart rental deals (Millennium Park Grill), delinquent accounts from suburbs using our infrastructure but not paying, TIF abuse, etc.

The amount Rahm has fiscally cleaned up this city is pretty good. But I’m sure you know better there sitting in your office chair not having to put any fucking effort into the situation.

Come on dude you’re killing the vibe for the holiday party!
