Chicago also put on a "plastic bag" tax last year. Welfare recipents dont pay that either but everyone else does

canada has something like a plastic bag tax, they used to be free at grocery stores but now they charge you 5 cents for each one

that applies to everyone though
its obvious that the dems in control there want to tax the shit out of the few successful people left there while not pissing off their main voting base (welfare recipients)

yes but what happens when your TAXPAYING residents leave your city leaving only welfare people? who dont pay any taxes

>>136508022
your economy collapses and you beg the federal or state government for money

which has been happening in chicago for years, cook country singlehandedly bankrupted the entire state of illinois

Taxes do not apply to SNAP recipients anyway. The bag one probably is the only one of the ordinance that had to be worded specifically like that without a legal obligation to do so.
