Benjamin Franklin once said "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." But I wonder if you can be taxed to death? Every time I turn on the TV or pick up the paper someone wants to raise taxes. The Chicago Board of Education is planning a property tax increase, Cook County wants to raise the sales tax and some state lawmakers want to raise taxes to bail out the CTA, Metra and Pace. Now Mayor Daley is considering raising property taxes. Trib writer Gary Washburn put it best, "It's a tough time to be a Chicago taxpayer." The last time I checked, there aren't too many companies raising salaries. So how are we suppose to pay for these tax increases, with blood? Even that will run out.
