Who Pays for The CTU’s Socialist Agenda?

Chicago Teachers Union demanding Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the citizens of Chicago provide more resources for low income students is a noble cause. In a socialist utopia every student would attend a well resourced public school. I do not have a problem with the CTU’s socialist agenda. I want to know who is going to pay for the equitable founding of low income public schools.

The billionaires?  The millionaires?  The upper middle class?

If the Chicago Teachers Union gets its demands and they are all paid through property taxes, the average Chicagoan will see a $235 hike in their tax bill.

Chicago Teachers Union Soda Pop Tax

Chicago Teachers Union Endorsed Toni Preckwinkle for Mayor of Chicago, not Lori Lightfoot. If Toni Preckwinkle was Mayor the Chicago Teachers Union would not be on strike. They would have cut a deal with Mayor Preckwinkle and she would have levied a soda pop tax.

Chicago’s Criminals Are Human Beings

Why can’t the City of Chicago and Chicago’s not for profits stopped the crime in Chicago?   Maybe the leaders of Chicago don’t live in high crimes neighborhoods? Or the city’s criminal actively has not affected their family? Or the citizens of Chicago feel it is impossible to stop the crime in Chicago?

There is enough human capital and social capital in Chicago to dramatically lower Chicago’s crime rates.  Chicago’s criminals are human beings, we need to help them solve their human problems.
