Chicago, a Democrat ran stronghold, imposes an entertainment tax that engulfs video games within its definition. Sony has agreed with the Democrat leaders of Chicago that it will allow them to reap the benefits of the tax through their online store. In sum, the citizens that reside in the Democratic stronghold city of Chicago must pay an additional 9% tax on all online purchases in the PlayStation store.

It's more of a Chicago problem than a Democrat problem. Basically, it's just a bad place to live and has been forever.

I was referring more about the rollback to environmental standards, stuffing government agencies with corporate yes-men, appointing a SC Justice that wants to rollback a major milestone for women's rights, making enemies of our long-standing foreign allies, cutting funding from medicaid and other social programs, etc.

I wouldn't be against this tax if it meant that certain specific programs would be funded, though I am not seeing anything in the law that obligates the funding to go to any specific program in general.

He slurps all over dictators, falling in love with Kim Jong-Un and praising Saddam Hussein for his counter terrorism strategy, compliments psychopaths like Duterte for murdering drug addicts, his asshole probably gets wet just thinking about being able to do it himself.

On the flip side, those politicians propose things that the people want but said officials have to introduce taxes in order to pay for.

Taxes aren't some inherently evil thing meant to simply steal your money.

They're there to help provide resources and public services to the governed population.

Unless, y'know, you want to pay for fire insurance for your house. Or pay out the ass for health insurance.

Don't pretend that politicians aren't always going to aim for more funding for themselves. The state wants power and control. When it introduces a new unnecessary tax it is just getting more control for itself. It doesn't care about you.
