Cook County commissioners proposed a flurry of new taxes and fees Tuesday as they scramble to find money to stave off planned budget cuts for next year...Well, let's just see--harassing constituent gun owners, destroying legitimate businesses and creating a new financial opportunity for parking lot car trunk sales by already established criminal networks, not to mention driving business and revenues out of Cook County--I wonder if these geniuses could have screwed things up any worse if that had been their intent?
Commissioners proposed...A 10-cents-per-bullet ammunition tax.
Let the gangland turf wars for control of sales territory begin! And then, of course, we can blame the guns even more.
