Chicago: where only the wealthy pay taxes. And those who have cars.

Just a half year ago, I jumped back into the pool of owning a car in Chicago.
My biggest reason for not owning a car in Chicago?
They tax the F out of them.

State registration fees, state licensing fees, and the city sticker are just the start.
Our toll roads are stupidly inefficient. But we live with it.

But most recently, Chicago has decided to raise taxes on parking. According to the Chicago Tribune, those taxes will be about 33%.
Welcome to the socialist state of Chicago. Can we just dip into your pocket?
