The piece argues Chicago suffers a weak business climate and high sales tax under Progressives, with Chicago and surrounding area losing substantial private-sector jobs. It cites Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former aide, as a factor and calls Chicago the most corrupt city with 371 officials having criminal records since 1970. The column notes Chicago’s bankruptcy risk, Illinois’ poor credit rating, and asks if Washington should bail out the city and state.
