How much do illegal immigrants owe 🤔
We owe them
@@hyzerfl1p 🐌
At least $ 400,000 million dollars.
@@Chris-lf9dl closer to 1 billion
The mayor of sanctuary city Chicago, who promised not to raise taxes on his citizens, needs money to house the asylum seeker. This money needs to come from somewhere? So where can the largest city in Cook County get this additional revenue? I THINK I KNOW!!!
Cook County needs tens of million$ to continue feeding & housing migrants.
Look more free money for the non workers
hundreds of millions, and that'll be billions sooner than later.

@@newtheis did he promise not to raise taxes? maybe he did, i don't know. if so, that should have been their first clue he was a liar as all democrats can't wait to raise taxes -- tax and spend tax and spendtaxandspend, that's all they know how to do. socialist traitors like him are even worse.
less money for henyard to steal, too.
10’s of millions?? More like hundreds of millions. They already spent over 300 million here in Illinois. It’s absolutely ridiculous. The housing is in luxury hotels here in Chicago. Not bad for people who never paid a dime in taxes here. Our politicians that I certainly never voted for are out of control.
Keep voting democrat, you guys! Doing super great!
Not everyone voted blue.
@@phillipmarlowe0525 majority did - they can now deal with it
For 96+ years.. not sure anyone votes for the same party for that long, perhaps there is MASSIVE CHEATING
go tell that to the average alabama or mississippi resident who don't know even how to read. it's insane how you people will actively ruin the country then point fingers at everyone else.
Same shit red or blue our taxes go up I'm in tx my home taxes went up
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Vote blue no matter who..
This is what it gets you...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
idiotic comment. This is hte city making the rules when it comes to Taxes. Tell people in flordia who are being forced out of their homes due to increased prop taxes AND unaffordable insurance the same thing and understand it doesnt matter what political party controls the state
The median property tax in Miami Dade County is $2,756, and they have no State tax. Chicago will see taxes triple for the middle class, plus an added near 5% State Income Tax. There is no comparison. Vote Red.
Meanwhile the rich and powerful are laughing at both of you. A house divided cannot stand.
@@teebone2157 Sure SOCIALIST.... sure...
@@del3681 Last I checked, D.C. was giving Florida the 33rd-best deal, while Illinois was receiving the 46th-best deal. 🧐
You voted blue enjoy your waves of tears 😭 😢
did most flordia residents facing same problem vote "blue" or did you not think before typing ?
@@teebone2157 What grade are you in porkchop? If you want to cry porkchop then you would be talking about cal. Did you not think before typing ?
@@teebone2157 The difference is that Blue States and Cities enthusiastically VOLUNTEERED to pay more for housing, taxes, insurance, utilities, gas, food. BTW How many tropical storms and hurricanes damaged Chicago over the last 50 years??
Enjoy your liberal indoctrination along with your mentally ill Biden..😂😂😂
@@teebone2157 First, it's Florida. Second, our property taxes are still miniscule compared to Illinois.
@@teebone2157 only blue states loosing population. brainwashed libs
This is how they take your Property.
Exactly
Why is she laughing?
More importantly what is she wearing? TF
She's a criminal thieving gang member who safely robs her fellow. Maniacal laughing is part of this process.
She could afford it she don't care, if it was a middle class hard working citizen there would be no laughter
Because she knows the the residents voted for these increases by voting for idiots. It's not her fault.
Don’t blame her, she’s pointing the fingers at those responsible. We’re all laughing at the absurdity of it
Why was she laughing? Property tax increases are no laughing matter especially if you're on fixed income. More bad news.
What will be the homelees rate increase in our city next year when more
Chicago's neighborhoods see property tax increases?
Big Government = Big Taxes. Any questions?
Yes, how is it the same party has "won" all the "s"elections in Chicago for 96+ years
soros only spends his money electing traitors, not uplifting communities.
Taxes on sales, taxes on food, taxes on property, taxes on utilities etc. etc. and still never enough.
Right. Shit crazy
Grab 10 friends across the county and run for office on the promise to cut property taxes
Only costs about $800 to file and run using social media.
Otherwise, expect property taxes to go up 10,000%. It's supposed to hurt, to get you to run for office. If it's not hurting, it's not high enough...
A mileage tax is coming as well.
Funding migrants
My paycheck didn't go up like that
I've heard over and over that 25% of our state budget goes to public salaries and benefits. They're handing out millions to non-citizen "asylum seekers," and they don't even seem like they want to account for that spending. The Mayor is spending $28,000 on haircuts. If they need money they should lay off public employees and reduce public salaries and benefits. We pay enough. It's time for them to give back some of their lavish pay and benefits packages to make ends meet. I've heard that Illinois pension payments even have an automatic annual 3% cost of living increase built in.
Unfortunately all your ideas require common sense, so none of those will happen.
@@newtiger007 his ideas require being actually brain dead
@@barl6412 okay
All true the average pension for a city or state worker after 20 years is about 90k a year till they die and they pay zero into it.
It's disgusting. Why do there have to be pensions anyway? Why not let the employees keep their contributions to to their pensions (some plans have them contribute) and let them keep and invest or save their money somewhere else for retirement? Ridiculous.
When you drive most of the businesses and people with money out, the poor people that are left get to foot the bill.
@@danabuch324 the wealthy always bribe politicians to have the poor and working class flip the bill. Just as the rich get rich off the backs of the working class and poor, the rich stay rich off the backs of the working class and the poor.
She laughing at you
She’s like we raised your taxes and what are you going to do about it. The audacity
Its project corporate take over. Drive up property taxes to the point many can't afford to pay it. They are either forced to sell or have their homes sold out from underneath them for back taxes. Corporations and Equity firms snatch the properties up, the city gives them property tax free deals for 10, 20,or more years. The corporations and equity firms then either build commercial buildings or update or replace existing homes with rentals. When it comes close to their tax breaks ending, they sell. This is happening all over the country. The state and local governments need to put a limit on how much they collect in property taxes when there are ridiculous housing prices.
100000000%
Exactly!
Its not just south suburbs. They increased property taxes for north suburbs last year by 20 to 40%
, so it is not just south suburbs
Pay yo' tax whitey!
South suburbs are going up by 50%, and everyone is gonna move to Indiano.
This lady is the final boss Karen. Good lord she’s nasty 😂
They will keep voting democrat. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ They got EXACTLY what they voted for.
Not all voted for this
@@phillipmarlowe0525 Majority of them did -
how did they vote for this ? country tax accessors are put in place by judges and county officals and the same thing is happening all over the country
Look more free money for the non workers
Some of yall are ignorant!!!
She don’t care if people are homeless and can’t afford their tax bill
Well she is making a lot of money helping corporations buy up these homes for pennies on the dollar at tax auction sales.
Look more free money for the non workers
She ⚪️
🤷🏾♂️😊
They need those homes for the illegals
She is not your mom she doesn't have to care.
She is just doing her job and telling the truth.
WTF is all that "Sinister SMILING" about!!!! 🤬
I was thinking the same thing…I didn’t hear anything worth smiling about or that was funny
Cause she knows she's already halfway moved out of state to Georgia, Arizona or Texas. Places where she'll be a Community Organizer for efforts to turn those new states Blue.
She's probably agreed to take one for the team, in return for an abrupt Retirement plus Cash-Out Bonus of $2.8M. And a secret bonus of the County paying her Broker Fees and Concierge Moving Costs to pack up the house and move to Paradise Valley.
It's because she knows she's lying. Bill Gates does the same thing.
Black Folks better wake up
ITS TOO LATE TO WAKE UP................BLACK FOLK ARE DONE.......KEEP VOTING DEM
And the middle class ands the poor!
Not waking up fast enough.
I bet that lady makes 500K a year, lives in a multi-million dollar home in a snobbish area, city pays all her medical premiums, drives a 90K car, etc,. She gladly says the rich and business owners are going to pay less and everyone else pays more.
Has anybody else seen at least 10% improvement in streets, public, or social services?
Nope just 10 percent to the big guy and more than 10 percent to illegals.
Someone has to pay for the corruption, you think corruption is free?
You get the government you deserve. Enjoy.
What the heck is so funny!!!!!!!!!!! Is this insane or what?????
Property taxes are evil
i'm glad disco queen sees the humor in it....
😂😂😂
She seems so happy, joyful. I wonder what she's paying in taxes. By the way, she's warn ing you all to move before next year
I appreciate this woman's brutal honesty. She's basically saying that they didn't hold their elected officials responsible and just blindly voted. She's probably the most honest Democrat in Cook County.
Ask Tahoe Tiffany the mayor of Dolton what she did with all the money???
The fact she is STILL the mayor of Dolton proves how corrupt Chicago is
This is why we need to start voting these crooks out.
How much was that pink trash bag she's wearing ? What is that, velvet?
Someone has to pay for living in a " sanctuary city".
So basically this is.... Hey the south suburbs are getting popular... We need to tax them more
Maria Poppas decked out in designer clothes and coldly saying "it's going up" doesn't give the best impression that these property taxes willl go back into towards community fixing roads, school funding, parks, etc... Much of the South burbs is middle and low income African Americans who are already struggling with inflation & stagnant wages.
Wondering if some of these tax hikes might go towards luxury shopping funds for Maria and others.
her $500 hairdoo too
This is a very stupid thing to do. Now even more people and businesses will move out of Illinois.
SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO GET CHICAGO STYLE GOVERNING TO SPREAD LIKE A DISEASE
Commercial taxes affecting residential taxes tells me all I need to know. What’s astounding is that there aren’t more people angry enough at corporations to do anything about it.
" how about reading my bill,"?
And how about looking for ways to lower our taxes. People do that when they manage their households. Why can't the governments do it?
Gotta pay for those billions sent to Ukraine.
That's a line item in the Federal budget and has nothing to do with Cook County. You should read before you comment
Time to end sanctuary city status & start cooperating with ICE. Stop funding illegal aliens.
Don't forget about the Billions that have gone to Isreal for Decades.
Israel, Ukraine, illegal immigrants, basically anyone who is not a citizen.
Ukraine Money. Democrat Money
All them Covid checks needs to be payed back somehow . All of us who bused our butts to be a home owner and this is our thanks ,while others get everything for free it’s ridiculous
Taxing people out of their homes. Where is the money going? 25% in one year is way to much. Why does the government think this is okay?
I can see she is having fun!
CHICAGO HOMEOWNERS WILL GET A BIG SHOCK WHEN TEACHERS GET THEIR NEW JOHNSON CONTRACT.
I can't stand her cynical laugh. Shame on her.
I can't believe there aren't more comments like this. She can't stop laughing at our taxes going up!
@@johnayala5366 would it help much if she play sad?
Its like ....here is your bill, and there is nothing you can do about it. In-fact, it will be going up again.
Wages didn’t go up like these increases so these tax hikes are slimy AF.
So if there is one home left they get a 85,000,000 dollar 💵 bill ?
If everyone is homeless, there will be no RE taxes collected.
Inflation? Insurance doubling or tripling? People are struggling?
Local government: “Ait it is time to raise them fking taxes too. This will for sure fk people up.”
At this point, if we don’t make huge changes to our government, we all gona be in trouble.
How about reducing spending? Eliminating waste in Crook County government?
But you people still want to pay for the Chicago Bears and White Sox new stadiums.
People don't vote for that stuff do they really ? How is it the same party has "won" all the elections for the last 96+ years SEEMS TO BE MASSIVE CHEATING
If I were the people there, I would organize and demand that they balance their budget just like the rest of us have to. They think they can just tax and spend without consequence.
This is outrageous! We better vote the exact same way in November!
More taxes and you'll get absolutely nothing. Exit IL. And she said next year is going to be worse, what?!
She's so arrogant. If the tax pool goes down, government needs to go down.
Apparently Illinois won't be happy until we all move out, & won't be happy then. Tell the school dist. NO
County Treasurer: "I would say it's (taxes) going up". Question: "How do you know?" County Treasurer: "Because you will be shocked". Question: Maybe it's going down and we will be shocked". County Treasurer: "You just moved here didn't you?"
Have they ever thought about cutting spending? Or is there some sort of law that spending can NEVER go down?
Communist democrats cannot slow spending, historical fact...
YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR!!!!! LOL
Land grab. Tax the peasants outta their homes so the well off/corporations can move in.
High crime, High Taxes, High Immigration, keep for it. 😂
Don’t those people deal with enough and now you’re raising their taxes 🥴🥴🥴
Keep voting blueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Has nothing to do with BLUE, Ever since 911 American been under attack
Blame BLACK ROCK
this is a county issue happening in every state. What does this have to do with politics? People in florda have it harder and are being forces to leave homes unoccupied
yeah blue states are doing better than red states so yeah keep voting blue. if you look at poverty rates red states are the worst in every category. but you can keep looking up anecdotal news articles if you want. I can even help out look up rankings of the states by education, GDP, and even average income. but yeah keep coping
@barl6412 Poverty rates are waaaaaaayyyy worse in Blue States. You are delusional. Blue states are Unaffordable and high taxes thanks to dems..🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
For all you MAGA people jeering about blue cities and counties paying taxes, what's the old saying about you get what you pay for? That's right. Red states and rural areas have higher levels of poverty, more substandard public services like roads, bridges, and sewer systems, more substandard schools, and higher rates of crime per capita compared to big cities.
I'm so tired of Phyliss Diller's lame ass excuse's.
Crook County
Pay them in play money, because that's all they do is play!!!!
That's why its called a political party .. but truly people QUIT VOTING DEMOCRAT
congratulations, South Side! all those migrant benefits ain't gonna pay for themselves! 😂
“Hahaha. You think your taxes are bad THIS year. Just wait till NEXT year! OMG! Hahaha! I’m so happy in this job! I just LOVE raising taxes! Hey, you voted for it!”
20% is a major hike.
She sounds so arrogant. If the tax pool goes down, the size of government needs to go down.
In 2016 I almost bought my house in Homewood,IL. In the end I decided instead to move to NW Indiana. I didn’t dodge a bullet, I dodged a cannon. I’d never move back to a blue state.😂
Water tower shopping center is a joke. It’s empty with nothing good to buy there anymore.
She’s so happy to give bad news.
How else will we finance our wars?
Where is she going with that jacket on??
Ok Lady. You explained the Taxation but now you have to explain how you’re representing us. It’s taxation without representation for sure.
Hey Illinois voters - vote differently in 2024.
This is what happens when people elect the same political party for 100 years. She's got hers, she doesn't care, she's wealthy.
All departments in the state and local governments need to be cut by 50%. It needs to be in a bill that is passed on a bipartisan vote.
Taxes onky keep goimg up for here. All these south suburbs are broke. Its gonna get bad for consumers.
Do a referendum and have voters pass a Cali style prop 13, it worked great there, for real!
Pensions are 10-15% of annual budget for most large cities. Property owners are going to get squeezed, hard.
You cannot tax a nation into prosperity.
Just keep voting blue no matter who SMH
So vote because it rhymes!
Why does a commercial building's vacancy rate impact it's property tax bill and that's not considered for a residential building? How do you know a multi-family unit isn't 50% vacant?
“It’s going up and residents are in for a shock.” She telling y’all!
You all in the south suburbs need to move out to Indiana! 😂
Ouch. Here comes the "Doom Loop".
Vote them out cook county this is your fault u voted for these😮
Wow just stop complaining and read
Why does she feel this is funny?
Good job Chicago. We’ll see how well you do when everybody leaves the city
We all know why , you have to pay for your replacements. Do you think it’s free to feed all those migrants?? Somebody has to pay for it.
The best decision we made was to move out of the state!!
6:35 talk of property tax reform "has been going on since Truman left office". Umm, Ms. Pappas, that was in 1953. Seventy-one years later, here we are. Her logic of giving failing businesses on Michigan Avenue a "break" with their taxes while homeowners get absolutely screwed is indicative of this state's contempt for its residents. "Read my bill"? I'd like to read her a farewell address after the next election.
Keep voting for more Big Govt and more handouts.
Most of our residents are happy to pay high property taxes to insure we have above average pay and benefits paying for our well trained unionized workforce. likewise we need the money to help pay for the people we are welcoming from around the world to relocate to our state, county, and city.
Oh so when commercial goes down do they send it right to the black residential neighborhoods because they must have the money, Since their commercial building they might own down the street is out of business.
Gotta pay for those "newcomers" somehow. SMH
If everyone stopped paying they could not repo everyone. The city would shut down!
She ree one else to give the report. She finds it funny black and brown people we live there?
