Well, this is what you get when you elect a racist Marxist.

After years of shootings, riots, looting, police quitting and businesses leaving the city, Chicago voters recently decided they’d had enough of left-wing policies.

Wait, no they didn’t — they elected a Democrat who is even farther to the Left than they mayor they voted out of office.

Now it’s time for the city to find out what they voted for. Mayor Brandon Johnson has released his economic blueprint, and it’s something:

Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) ~ Progressive allies of Mayor Brandon Johnson have released a financial blueprint titled - and I'm not joking - "First We Get the Money" calling for $12 billion in new taxes, including:

"Head tax" of $33 per worker for companies with 50+ employees

Quadrupling the tax on jet fuel.

3.5% income tax on households making $100K+

0.4% "wealth tax" for the top 10% of city earners.

$1-2 transaction tax for financial exchanges.

"First, WE get the money ..." BWHA HA HA HA!!! Maybe a little TOO obvious about being grifters, eh?

$12 billion in new taxes to fund “a more just” Chicago? Good luck with this guy, Windy City residents:

Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) ~ The plan also calls for eliminating all current vacant positions at the Chicago Police Department AND cutting the CPD budget by 9%.

Here’s a more honest version:

Context Variable (@ContextVariable) ~ I don't think they could have formed a better plan to chase people out of the city if they tried.

If you were trying to chase people (and businesses) away, what would you do any differently?

A sure-fire recipe for disaster.

Based Red-Pilled Chad Honda Accord (@Accordhonda2016) ~ Chicago gets the government they deserve.

For the most part, the same people who voted for this will complain about the disastrous results but then keep voting for it. Go figure!
