The tax seems like a bad idea to me as well, but in what way is it going to kill jobs? Doesn't it apply to Chicago-based and non-Chicago-based companies equally

- ccleve 11y agoIt does, but companies that are not located here cannot be compelled to collect the tax. Instead, citizens are supposed to voluntarily pay a "use tax". No one does.
- eli 11y agoOK, I can see that. Seems like a bit of a stretch though. Are you aware of any companies threatening to relocate?
- anigbrowl 11y agoThis is the same argument that was made against requiring companies like Amazon to collect sales taxes, but that has been going on for a while now (including in Illinois as of this year) and the forecast layoffs and economic disaster have failed to materialize.
