Want high taxes? How about high taxes just in time for next Christmas? Then Chicago is the place for you!

Chicago, IL. –A drink at the bar, a fast-food meal and back-to-school shopping are among those things about to get a bit more expensive in Cook County.Early Saturday, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger struck a deal with board members, who approved a 1 percent increase in the sales tax - driving Chicago’s overall sales tax to double digits at 10.25 percent, easily among the highest of any big city.

And it will be enacted just in time for the Christmas shopping season.

“We got where we needed to be, and that’s a great victory for the five and a half million people who live and work in Cook County,” Stroger stated in a release early Saturday.

Only to a bunch of liberals could raising taxes and paying more be considered a “great victory”. And people still are wondering why Chicago is a dying city?

Hey, Obama is a product of the Chicago political machine isn’t he? Boy, I can’t wait until he’s President! I’m sure he’ll have the same “great” ideas!
