Oooooh JEEEEEESH! More feckin' taxes?

Seriously? Who in the city of Chicago is truly going to benefit from all these taxes being thrust upon us working schmoes? Toni Preckwinkle, our "beloved" Cook County Board President is now proposing of raising taxes on the following:

Ciggies: (Again? Seriously? She wants it up an extra dollar. Toni states, "As the leading provider of public health services in our region; I believe if you choose to smoke, you should have a hand in paying for the healthcare consequences of your decisions." Ciggies are currently anywhere from $11-12.50 a pack. Eeeee! I am quitting to save moolah for Dr. Perricone stuff!

Guns: $25 firearm tax. OK, then.

Bullets: and extra nickle a bullet, so if you buy a pack of 20 bullets, it's an extra buck.

That's just a few she has in mind.

I actually voted for her; and mind you these are just proposals, but they are a bit of a pain as we smokers and working schmoes who pack heat to protect our loved ones and our home aren't too thrilled about this.

And on top of Preckwinkle's taxes, Gov. Pat Quinn wants to raise ciggie tax....ANOTHER dollar.

I guess they need to find a way to replace all the money former gov. and current jailbird Blago lost, spent, mishandled, used, etc... thus making the state of Illinois the laughing stock of the USA.

OK, now be nice and please stop laughing at my state, aka "The Land of Lincoln." Now if you'll forgive me as sign off to go to sleep to get some rest for my 20 minute drive to Indiana to purchase a $12 pack of ciggies for $7.
