What is the Chicago Way. My experience shows its based on patronage. Hire as many workers as you can and tell them that their job is dependent on you getting elected. Then. constantly hire new workers in every department. Then, create new departments. All those patronage jobs are completely dependent on you getting re-elected. Lastly, raise all types of local taxes to pay for the raises these patronage workers get. And many of these workers do not have to work a full day.
In Chicago, when there were real news reporters ((unlike today's quasi-reporters)), there would be the daily exposure of workers sleeping on the job or spending their time anywhere but at work. But these reporters for some reason were slowly removed. Maybe pressure from the political officials? Or maybe the TV stations just got feed up with the constant negative reporting. Whatever the reason, there is only the political bosses reporting about corruption when it best served their interest to help get them re-elected.
Another Chicago Way is to either harass or eliminate your opponents. Being the business center of Al Capone, you get my drift.
Another famous Chicago Way is to have closed-door or back-door deals. A group of politicians meet secretly and make deals which partly do something and partly pay themselves and their friends or supporters
Does this sound familiar ??? Really think! This sounds familiar to me.
It should sound familiar. Just look at what is happening with our government. The number of government workers has significantly increased. The number of new departments has significantly increased. The wages of government workers is now greater then the public sector's wages. And there is more. There is plenty of harassment to anyone who does not abide by the obama way. And the health care system is filled with back-door deals for all types of obama supporters. Not saying that health care reform wasn't needed. It just was SOLD with bribes to many congresspersons and union people. That left out all the people who were perfectly happy with their health care programs and now are beginning to see their health care premiums go up by 10% - 14% - 18% and more. And the new taxes coming January 1, 2011 will go where??? Mostly to pay for all the bribes that were passed out to get congresspersons to vote for the health care bill. And the official governmental budgeting department now says that the health care law will cost more then they originally said. They blame the extra loss on not receiving enough accurate information from the obama camp. Information that the obama camp had before the bill was passed. That's another Chicago Way. Leave off anything or any information that gets in your way.
CONGRESS HAS FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE OUR MONEY ---OUR TAXES--- TO BRIBE CONGRESSPERSONS TO PASS LAWS THAT ARE NOT IN THE BEST LONG TERM INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.
GOD HELP US ALL !!!
And that's the way I see it...
