Lets Go Brandon's WOKE Tax Plan Will Drive Businesses AWAY in DROVES!

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Here we go again - Chicago's Brandon Johnson wants to slap a $21 per employee monthly tax on businesses with over 100 workers, calling it a "community safety surcharge." Meanwhile, someone gets shot every 4 minutes in Chicago. Make that make sense! This genius progressive policy will drive even more businesses out of a city that's already lost 10,000 companies in the past decade. Johnson claims he's targeting the "ultra-wealthy," but a restaurant with 100+ employees isn't exactly swimming in cash - they're running on razor-thin margins. While Texas and Florida gain taxpayers every few minutes, California loses one per minute, and Chicago wants to accelerate their exodus with this head tax nonsense. The kicker? Johnson refuses to cut the bloated budget or make any real reforms, because that might upset his teacher union buddies. What could go wrong with taxing job creators while people flee in droves? Is anyone surprised this ideological train wreck is happening? Think this brilliant strategy will solve Chicago's billion-dollar deficit, or just create an even bigger mess?
