All these politicians who are in office are rich, making $200,000 or $300,000 a year. The little person doesn’t have a chance any longer. They have taxed us to death and taxed us to death. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle should be out of a job. They’re filthy rich. They don’t care about anybody. . . Enough is enough. People are fed up. That’s why more and more people are leaving Illinois. It’s because of taxes.

My answer for the failing schools in Chicago is: It’s time the parents who send their kids to that public school pay a little tuition. Some of these parents are making over $100,000 a year and they’re sending their kids to public schools so they don’t have to pay tuition at a private school. I think that’s unfair to the taxpayers. Let these parents pay.
Chicago seems to always raise property taxes. There’s no mystery there. The mystery is: Why do the people of Chicago always vote Democrat?

This message is for all the people on television who mispronounce the word veteran.” It’s a three-syllable word not a two-syllable word – ve-tran, like they say. The word is ve-te-ran.
