If you're wondering what your taxes might look like if Mr. Obama were to be elected president take a look at the cost of living with the government in Cook County.
Taxes there were just raised to 10.25% unless of course you want to eat; restaurant purchases are taxed at 13.25%. I am told this means that Chicago now has the highest sales tax of any major city in America.
"It will definitely be cheaper to shop in the suburbs. Buy a $500 TV in DuPage County where the taxes are 6.75 percent and you'll pay $534, in Chicago where the taxes are 9 percent, you'll pay $545 for that same television, and when taxes increase to 10.25 percent, you'll pay $551."

We have the audacity to hope that won't happen, the presidency or the taxes since if you get the first you're certain to get the second.
