CHICAGO, Illinois - October 27, 2009 - Chicago and Cook County residents aren’t the only ones about to get shocking tax news; the city is debuting a “tax whistle-blower” plan that could turn neighbor against neighbor in Chicago’s business community.

The folks at city hall will pay cash bounties to informants who turn in business tax avoiders around the city. The reward would amount to some sort of percentage of the tax money that the city recovers.

"It's just another way of bringing people into compliance," Revenue Department spokesman Ed Walsh told the Sun-Times.

"It would probably be ... a business knowing that a competitor is not remitting a tax. An employee [of the tax-dodging business] could know that, too. Typically, you need to provide some type of incentive."

Ed. Note: This is how you create a fascist society. Make everybody fear everybody else. Your neighbor, brother, sister, boss, friend, etc. may turn you in to the local Gestapo, so don’t talk to anyone about anything; live a solitary life and only look to the government to tell you what you should be doing. Is this the type of country in which you want to raise your children? When is enough, enough? Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
