Chicago's sales tax can kiss my ass.

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.

As of today, Chicago has a 10.75% sales tax on purchases. The highest in the nation.

Glad I don't live in that area anymore. Screw the politicians in Illinois, especially Cook County.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

well a day trip into the city from the burbs it shouldnt affect much, figure it'd cost you $1 extra at most from the 2 or so percent increase in the tax from before, that is unless you were to buy some big ticket items. People living in Cook County and tourists really get hit the hardest.

And for Chitown.. Open Mouth? or closed? ;)
