User ID: 77024359 United States10/18/2018 11:47 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to westcooknews.com (secure)] Quoting: Mccruise Cook County says the Maywood boyhood home of Illinois Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton is worth $141,920. Its tax bill: $8,430, or an effective property tax rate of about six percent. Property tax rates that high-- more than five times the national average-- have become standard in inner-ring Chicago suburbs like Maywood. But the $700 per month tax bill has proven too rich for Hampton's son, Fred Hampton, Jr. He's asking for donations to help him stop the County from auctioning off the home next Tuesday. The tax bill at 804 S. 17th Avenue spiked more than 400 percent this year, to more than $8,000 from just $1,919. That's after its previous owner, Hampton's uncle, Bill, died and the property lost three tax exemptions, including one that freezes tax bills for seniors, according to the Cook County Treasurer. IIRC, this is because of public sector unions and the enormous unfunded state liabilities for their pensions and benefits. Something will give because there's no way in hell that people can afford this absurd tax increase. In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

Why not relocate? Quoting: 3643297 When Chicago raised the tax rate they actually said the people would be fucked because it would be impossible for people to sell their homes with such high taxes!

Good point, now they are trapped in a home they can’t sell and have to rely on the generosity of strangers to continue to fund their entrapment.. It’s a Nightmare. |

"has called for an end to capitalism and for white Americans to "take responsibility for the fact that white society rests on the pedestal of the oppression of African people" and pay reparations to black Americans for their "stolen wealth." ... hosts a web site where whites can pay reparations with a credit card." ------------------------------------------------------------ .
