    The Cook County in the State of Illinois has passed a soda tax. A penny an ounce. Politicians in Illinois are now considering a statewide tax for the soft drinks. This should cure everything.

    More money for us trapshooters.:)

    You fellas think they wont be adding guns to this sin tax? Or ammo? If they will tax the sweets your firearms will be hit harder. Bet on it.

    Cook county has a bullet tax. 5 cents on every center fire bullet.and 1 cent on each rim fire cartridge. Plastic bag tax coming soon.The American Revolution was about the tax on tea.Boston tea party.Somebody has to support the welfare people and the government pensions.

    The State of Illinois is in Dire straights with their lacking a budget or even being able to comprise on anything because Madgian and Rauner both will not give an inch ... Gov. Rauner has proposed several budgets with deep cuts and the democrats will not even consider them ... The amount of money they are going to raise with the taxes on ammo etc are a drop in the bucket when compared to what they need ... The State will not be spending money any to soon on the State Parks or recreational areas because they do not have it to spend ... 37,000 residents have relocated (moved ) outside of the State of Illinois due to the taxation tables getting totally out of hand ... If the WSRC is going to be open and operational it will not be on the States money, thats for sure ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Bullet tax is only for Crook County.Sparta is over 300 miles away.Maybe we can make President Trump a honorary ATA member.Maybe he can keep the ATA from moving to Mexico..Cook County is a lot like the Romans Empire.except we don't have a Nero.We have Madigan and Cullerton doing the fiddling while the state burns.Rauner the gov is trying to put the flame out.welfare is lighting new fires.

    Just for the sake of accuracy. Republican Govna Rauner shuttered the WSRC. The WSRC was brainchild of anti-gunner and felon, democrat Rod Blagojevich. Rod made a deal with the so-called southern part of the state. The southern part of the state elected him and he turned around and gutted the IDNR. It was the southern part of the state that elected Rod. The votes were paid for.

    The WSRC exists and the grand moved from Vandalia because of the deal the anti gun dems made with the southern voters of Illinois. Illinois voters in the south are as much to blame as the dems in Cook county.

    The WSRC lease was burned by Illinois Republican Rauner. It still is in ashes. Illinois voters from north to south can point fingers....but the truth is history. jmho

    Just so you know the connection for our ex governor Blago.He stepped on his father in law .Richard Mell ,the most powerful Democrat in Chicago politics with the land fill stuff.That is why he is in jail.You have to play ball with the good old boys club.We have a lot more politicians that are more corrupt that will never see any jail time.
    Richard Dailey was one of the most corrupt states attorneys before becoming mayor.we the citizenship paid multi millions for people that were tortured and put in prison by him and his administration..he is to sick to testify to these charges.but he can see the world on vacations.I l live here and have seen these corrupt people for more than 50 years.Just part of the Good old boys club.The media in Chicago is bought and paid for by the Chicago democrats.revision..the media is bought and paid for by the state democrats..It is just like the media and obamma.just more corruption.Really,Trump won..
    Did Putin help,,Is there any intelligence in American politics.Lots of questions any truthful answers..
