Chicago Democrats Joke About Ten Commandments Before Massive Tax Increase. Rahm and Chicago Mob Linked Ed Burke Laugh It Up.

The Chicago Tribune reports on joking before Chicago's massive tax increase:

Ald. Ed Burke, 14th, the longtime chairman of the Finance Committee, seemed to flub the punch line on a very old joke — one some folks may not consider so funny — about Moses and the Ten Commandments.

With Ald. George Cardenas, 12th, talking about prayers for an answer to the city’s pension woes, Burke said it reminded him of the one about Moses coming down from Mt. Sinai to deliver good news and bad news to his followers. Here it is as recounted by Burke to much laughter from his colleagues:

“They said, ‘Moses, Moses, Moses, tell us what is the good news.’ And Moses said, ‘I’ve got the good Lord down to just 10 commandments. ‘Oh, they said, that’s wonderful, wonderful Moses, thank you. What’s the bad news?’ And Moses said six and nine are still in there.’”

The sixth commandment is “Thou shalt not kill,” and the ninth is, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” As usually told, the punch line is “Seven is still in there.” The seventh commandment is “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”

Before Burke continued, Emanuel interjected. “You all better know what six and nine are too,” the mayor said.

The Chicago Democrats use religion to justify massive tax increase. They did forget about "thou shall not steal", even by majority vote as Gary North would say.
