I have only to say: that every Cook County and City of Chicago office holder, including Hizzoner, the Toddler, and all our alderman, ought to be required, as a condition of their employment, to purchase all their goods and services within Cook County.
And if they are Chicago office holders, they should be required to do all their shopping within the city limits.
No online, no Ebay, no Amazon, no Overstock.com. Those things are for the citizens whose rights are already being violated by being robbed at gunpoint to give our aldermen 10% raises in an era of wage stagnation, and to hand hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer-funded largesse to developers and corporations.
I mean everything. Food, cars, clothes, appliances, furniture, everything. Anything can be ordered into a store here.
They should be required to support the businesses for whom they are making so many difficulties, and they should be required to support the municipality they are sucking the lifeblood from.
Enforcement of the rule could be managed by issuing each city office holder a city debit or credit card, which would have to be used for all purposes. No other credit or debit cards would be permitted.
If such a rule seems unduly restrictive, or a violation of the officeholder's "rights", then they should consider that many firms in the private sector subject their employees, especially high level employees, to similar or more oppressive restrictions. If you work for Dean Witter, say, you cannot open an account at TD Waterhouse, and if you do, you could be looking at FINRA sanctions including a mark on your license and/or fines, as well as termination with cause, simply for disobeying your firm's rules.
Anyone officeholder who doesn't want to go along with these rules would be free to relinquish his office and seek other employment. The rule should really include all city and county employees, whose paychecks are made possible by our exorbitant taxes, but we should definately go after the top dogs first.
Perhaps any corporate official whose company received taxfunded windfalls via TIF districts and tax abatements, and outright subsidies, should also be required to spend his or her personal money here as a condition of receiving such a grant. After all, Chicago has an impressive array of luxury retailers. But even the megarich sports team owners could scarcely put back what their entities received in the form of Sox stadium or the toilet bowl at Soldier's Field.
All those electronic email blasts Joe Moore sends out. Well, Joe Moore out sources those outside the United States.

Their PACs should have to abide by the rule, as well.
They should be required to document that everything used in their homes, offices, campaign offices, and anywhere associated with their campaign, was purchased in the jurisdiction they represent.
Documentation should be on a indelible, unalterable format, and should be readily available for examination by any citizen.
And Joe should have to cough up city sales taxes for all the items you cataloged here.

Oh, yes, I forgot.
Their PACs should have to abide by the rule, as well.
They should be required to document that everything used in their homes, offices, campaign offices, and anywhere associated with their campaign, was purchased in the jurisdiction they represent.
Documentation should be on a indelible, unalterable format, and should be readily available for examination by any citizen.
And Joe should have to cough up city sales taxes for all the items you cataloged here.
See if you can find any honest politicians that we can import.
Yes, bullets for my gun.
