CHICAGO GOES FULL SOCIALIST: Mayor Brandon Johnson’s “Head Tax” Is a Declaration of War on Small Business
"Head Tax" Means a Boot on the Neck of Every Job Creator
Brandon Johnson isn’t interested in prosperity. He’s interested in punishing anyone who creates it. His proposal? Slap a $21 monthly penalty per employee on every business with over 100 workers. And don’t worry — that number will climb with inflation. Because in Chicago, misery isn’t just guaranteed — it’s indexed to grow.
$21 per employee. Every month. For the crime of employing people.
That’s not a policy. That’s extortion.
They tried this tax before. From 1973 to 2014, it brought in a pathetic $20 million a year. It was so destructive that even Rahm Emanuel — hardly a free-market champion — phased it out. But Johnson wants to bring it back, five times more expensive, and slap it on companies already teetering under Bidenflation and a rising crime wave.
How do you think restaurants will survive this? They’re working on pennies now, not profits. But Johnson doesn’t care — he's more interested in virtue signaling at protests than building a city where small businesses can breathe.
The Socialist Blueprint: Tax Everything, Kill Everyone’s Future
This isn’t just about the “head tax.” Johnson is coming for everything that moves:
- Cloud services tax hikes — because digital innovation must be punished.
- Rideshare “high traffic” taxes — because your commute is now a revenue source.
- Yacht mooring taxes — class warfare optics, nothing more.
- Social media taxes — just wait until that extends to your email account.
In total, he wants to raise hundreds of millions off the backs of working families and business owners. And for what? So the same corrupt political machine that can’t even keep the trains running can blow it all on pensions, pet projects, and more DEI consultants?
Businesses Fleeing Like It’s 1970s Havana
Let’s review the scoreboard:
- Citadel — gone.
- Boeing — gone.
- Caterpillar — gone.
- Tyson Foods, TTX, Guggenheim — all gone.
You think this tax will bring in $100 million? Try subtracting the billions in revenue lost when every mid-size company pulls anchor and sails for red states where capitalism still breathes.
Mayor Johnson isn’t just tone-deaf — he’s ideologically blind. He’s driving Chicago off a cliff and asking taxpayers to hit the gas.
The Real Agenda: Keep You Broke and Distracted
Make no mistake. This isn’t a one-off policy blunder. This is part of a national agenda.
An agenda where:
- Hard work is taxed to death.
- Savers are destroyed by inflation.
- Cities are hollowed out by crime and regulation.
- And centralized digital currencies like FedNow wait in the wings to trap your dollars in their system.
You’re not supposed to own your own business. You’re not supposed to hire anyone. You’re supposed to be a permanent renter in a gig economy that never pays you enough to get ahead — but just enough to keep consuming their distractions.
They don’t want free Americans.
They want obedient dependents.
The Bottom Line: This Is Economic Treason
What Brandon Johnson is proposing isn’t just bad policy.
It’s not just misguided.
It’s economic treason against the working men and women of this country.
This is what happens when the Marxists take the wheel. When government becomes a parasite and business is treated like the host. The “head tax” is a symptom. The disease is authoritarian collectivism — and it’s spreading fast.
