Cook Co...Yeah. Smarts are not their strong point. <br /><br />Cook County does the same thing with the gas tax--and Chicago with a bottled water tax.<br /><br />They think we're all obedient little slugs.<br /><br />Well, a lot of their voters are, since they think it's always someone else who'll pay.

It never occurred to them that Illinoians would go to Iowa and Missouri to buy cigarettes. Same for the gas tax. Anyone near the Iowa or Missouri border crosses the bridge to buy gas.Choeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697965210992762810noreply@blogger.com
