#4 Let's sell it as an anti-crime bill. We'll give you a one large a month, but we subtract $100 for every person you shoot.

With direct deposit you don't even need Grandmaw to forward a check, and the ward heeler who gets you on the rolls can take care of the voting part. You don't even have to show up, just like with your city job.

#7 Do they have to pay income taxes and federal withholding on their free money?

The Chicago city government is already deep in debt. How on earth can they afford to fund their part of the scheme?

#8 A thousand a month if ya struggle!
Chicago'll juggle and smuggle
With little compunction
To fund its disfunctional
Snuggle and thuggle and druggle.
