Fuck the Cubs...

 

Looks to me like the assessor’s office didn’t do their job.

 

Yup...And with a sensationalist click bait title like this, Beac83 has a future at CNN. His phone is likely already ringing.

 

And Ricketts' attorney lied to the appeals board, filing a pic and description of the house that was demolished 9 years earlier. That's outright fraud.

 

I just make the cameras look pretty.

 

That, too.

Took a great old ballpark and turned it into another disney experience.
Even took out the communal piss troughs in the mens' rooms that were there from 1918.

 

Read that slowly, then slowly read your thread title and report back what is wrong.

 

Someone fudged on their taxes. That happens nationwide with people of all incomes. The difference is the RNC position. So, huge non story.

 

Ricketts is responsible for his taxes, not his attorney. He's also responsible for the fraud if his attorney lies on his behalf, filing information both of them knew to be false. The attorney should be disbarred as well, but that doesn't absolve Ricketts of the fraudulent filing.

 

So its OK then, because others do it too. SMH

 

Fixed!

 

Until Hillary is hanging from her neck, you'll have a really hard time convincing me to give a fuck about any white collar crime going punished.

 

Shake all you want, them’s the facts.

 

What about fat fuck Pritzker? You somehow didn’t mention his outright property tax evasion, despite he being our current, Democratic governor. What about all the Democrat councilmember property tax evasion? What about all the Chicago Democrat councilmember fraud, racketeering, etc going on up there? What about Smollet and all that sweeping under the rug bullshit that included Nobama being involved in?

You trying to throw one Republican under the bus to further your agenda isn’t going to work. Every wealthy person on the planet is politically involved and evade everything they can. It’s in their best interest to protect and gain wealth. Try looking past the end of your nose.

 

Hmmmm...I'm not seeing that as a bad thing. YMMV

 

Assuming the story is accurate, he needs to be charged and face whatever penalties are due. It would be nice if the Tribune (the apparent investigative agency for this according to the headline) was equally diligent in investigating the other side of the aisle.

 

And you know this how?

I also never said it absolved Ricketts of the filing.

You expect me to believe a billionaire is crossing every t and dotting every i that he is paying a metric shit ton of money for a lawyer to do? Get real.

Congrats. You wanted to be an attention whore with a sensationalist headline and you succeeded. You must be proud.

 

He (PritzKer) got caught, too, buy the same Tribune crew.

We still elected him Governor. We get what we deserve.
