Chicago is raising their sales tax to over 10%.
Good. Let's hit those rich folks. They can afford to pay more for purchases and services. No problem.
The problem is that the sales tax charges do not care how much $ you have. All purchases and services will cost everyone more.
People who can may relocate across county borders or travel across for regular purchases like groceries and gas. Those without means to do this, will be hit hardest with this sales tax increase.
The victims will be those who can not afford it. Does no one see that this solution is no solution?
'til later

- Greetings! I have years, no decades, of financial experiences to share. I have a passion for education. I am a control freak in that I need to know where my $ goes. I continually ask myself do we need that, what risks are we taking with that investment, how/when can we get at our $, and just how much does Uncle Sam demand of our every earned $. Stay tuned to my life choices now and my references to life choices/experiences from my past.
