I'm almost afraid to write this, because I fear that some left wing progressive, starry eyed supporter of President Obama will read this; and then actually try to have it implemented.
I joke with people here in Chicago that President Obama's real agenda is to annex the entire country into Cook County Illinois. President Obama is trying to run our country in the only way that he has learned, that of the Chicago and Cook County Democratic Machine. Chicago also has one thing that no other city in the United States has, the Illinois Tollway System. Yes, every main expressway leading into and going out of the city of Chicago has a toll booth which charges you a minimum of $1.00 to come in and $1.00 to leave.
Yes, you have to pay a cover charge to get into the city of Chicago, and then you have to tip the doorman on the way out. Many people will be pass through two and maybe even three toll booths to come and go from Chicago. So that means that some commuters will spend $4.00 to $6.00 daily to come and go from work. And then there's the parking rates in the city, which a large portion is a tax for the city. I was downtown yesterday and it cost me $31.00 for a total of 2 hours of time in a parking lot.
There are two expressways that go around the city, I-294 and I-355, but they have toll booths also and many people will pass through two or three of those so that they may go around the city. I call this the Cook County Avoidance Tax.
Now, we see President Obama and the left wing secular progressives pushing their health care agenda and not having any way to pay for it. So, I'm now thinking that President Obama, since he knows of our toll, (tax), system will, in order to pay for a one payer, socialized heath care system, will create: THE UNITED STATES TOLLWAY SYSTEM.
Yes, to pay for health care, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and yes Illinois own Senator Dick (Turban) Durban will be supporting it. There will be toll booths set up all over the country throughout its Interstate System with the Illinois Tollway System as its model. (Why do they call it the Illinois Tollway System, when it's only in Chicago?) You will pay 50 cents to enter onto and exit every Interstate highway throughout the United States, and then pay $1.00 for every 30 miles of the Interstate that you drive on through an array of toll booths. And all money made will be going to pay for universal health care.
And for those who decide to take the side roads. Well to cover those losses they will do as Michael Moore states that the government should do, place a $2.00 tax on every gallon of gasoline. Then, because Chicago does not want you to have your own car, and only wants you to use the METRA, the Chicago Transit Authority, and the taxi's, Obama and his minions will place a tax on every parking spot in the country, as well as the parking spots in your apartment complexes.
And they will also tell you that since you will see how much it will cost you to drive, that you will cut back on your driving, therefore saving energy as well as the environment.
You see, as long as Obama is there, as well as the Chicago connections in his staff, yes, this will be coming. I have driven from Chicago to Phoenix Arizona twice. In that 1700 miles of driving there is only one tollway between Chicago and Phoenix, and that is on the Will Rodger's Turnpike that is the Interstate that connects Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Look at a map and see how far apart that is. Then look at all the Interstates around Chicago, and that also means from Wisconsin and Indiana leading into the city. Look how many toll booths are marked on the map of the city of Chicago.
That's what could be coming.
