Chicago adds "amusment tax"

If you're in Chicago now you get slapped with a 9% tax on playing Playstation or X-Box One online, or going to the movies.

Wow, movie tax is crazy.

-facepalms-

Chicago has the ability for home rule, but -facepalms- at all of Illinois in general. But Cook County? Oh man.

All taxation is theft.
