           Yesterday when I watched the 9pm broadcasting of the news I'd seen commercials for the news at 9 and the newscasters said "Beware Chicago we're getting another tax hike! More news at 9." I couldn't believe what I had heard! Another tax hike?!! As if we're the most expensive city to live thus far out of the nation, now lets make it more affordable for only the rich to live here in Cook County and drive everybody else to the suburbs or Indiana or to another state perhaps.

            It's great the minimum wage went up too today but will that really help with the high gas prices and now the higher tax increase. This city will now loose even more revenue and probably flounder in the next couple of years if the state doesn't do something about it. Living here, I might as well move into Sarah Jessica Parker's apartment in New York being that I am a native from New York and lived there 21 yearsw of my life before I came to Chicago in the winter of 2000. WOW!!!

            Chicago needs Robin Hood to steal from the rich and give back to the poor. This state is getting ridiculous with having their hand in evey body's pocket. When the homeless hand out their hand for spare change we'll be handing out our hands to them. Pennies and every "2" dollars counts now, sarcastically speaking but now is the truth.

             I'm calling out to Robin Hood to come save Chicago from the evil Sherriff of the state of Illinois.

The news promo was a trailer to remind Cook County residents that their sales tax was going up; it wasn't about a brand new tax increase. The higher sales tax was voted upon months ago by Todd Stroger's got-'em-in-my-pocket Cook County Board. Chicago's City Council and Mayor Daley aren't that much better. And the Democrats are proud of these tax increases? So much for the party that lies and misrepresents itself as a party for the "people".

It's not the big, bad sheriff of Illinois, but Lil' Todd “The Prez” Stroger, President of Crook County. Not that Blago, “The Gov” isn’t fully to blame or involved, but, the tax increase is the brain child of “The Prez” Stroger. This is the same person that the loyal Democrats of Chicago and Crook County voted into office. This is the same person all the loyal Democrats flocked behind and supported during his election. Let me remind all you naive little Democrats, all the problems our city, county and state are now facing are all courtesy of the Democratic officials you elected. We have Richard "Tricky Dick" Daley who throws temper tantrums and cries like a baby because he doesn't get his way, we have Lil' Todd Stroger, AKA "The Prez", who appoints friends and family to positions with inflated salaries then creates a tax increase to pay his friends and family, we have Blago, AKA "The Gov", who is a disaster from the word "Go" and we have Barack "I wanna' be Mr. Prez" Obama, who is supposed to be representing the State of Illinois and voting on important legislation bills, but has failed to do so, because, he is too busy campaigning for his presidential bid. If he wanted to run for president, he should have resigned as senator and a special election should have been held to fill the seat he held. Again, a Democratic official working in the best interests of the city, county and state. I am just waiting for Obama and Balgo to be officially tied, connected and convicted for association with Tony Rezko.

I work for the new casino called Four Winds Casino & Resort. I am in an office in Chinatown who shuttle the playeers back and forth. Wonderful job and exciting to see new people eveyday especially our regular players who ride with us everyday. I love baseball (GO CUBBIES!!!) they have a fabulous team this team this year. Enthusiastic, eccentric, outgoing, friendly gal who loves life.
