LOGICAL AT WORK
When a city overtaxes the WORKING voters, businesses, fail to provide basic police protection, have politically applied law and order. The $$$$$ tends to move out of the problem area.

BTW: The Top 4 Largest employers in Chicago are:
# Employer_______________Employees
1 U.S. Government_________49,400
2 Chicago Public Schools____39,094
3 City of Chicago__________30,340
4 Cook County, Illinois______21,482

Programs! Getcher programs! Can't tell the clowns without a program.

Looking at this in practical terms, Chicago has a population of ~ 2.6 million. Let's say 1/4 are adults. With a deficit of $982 million, we get deficit / adults = $1510 per potential voter

So, for one and a half large each, the mayor and his cronies can buy enough votes to stay in office. Not a bad deal considering that they are spending someone else's money. Besides, we gotta keep the unions happy, right?
