Why doesn't Rahm Emanuel pay property taxes?





According to the Cook County Assessor's website, the Chicago home of four-term Democrat Congressman and new White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, doesn't exist. While the address of 4228 North Hermitage is listed as Emanuel's residence on the Illinois State Board of Elections' website, there seems to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home.





The Cook County Assessor's and Cook County Treasurer's on-line records indicate Emanuel's Chicago neighbors pay between $3,500 and $7,000 annually. However the Illinois Review has been unable to locate any evidence that the former Clinton advisor and investment banker is paying his fair share of Cook County's


notoriously high tax burden.





Why wouldn't 4228 North Hermitage property owners Rahm Emanuel and wife Amy Rule pay property taxes?





One reason may be because Emanuel and Rule declared their 4228 North Hermitage home as the office location for their personal non-profit foundation called the "Rahm


Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation". As the non-profit's headquarters, their home could be exempt from paying property taxes.





Perhaps we should all declare ourselves "charitable institutions"?|||Red.


It appears that all one has to do is be elected to any office by people who have a tiny bit of trust or appointed by an elected official and suddenly the laws by which others live magically do not apply.|||Rahm (ROM-Read only memory) Emanuel is just another tax evader in the administration. These people are above and beyond reproach. They are exempt from such mundane things as paying taxes, they have more important things to do like raising everyone elses taxes and making sure they pay them.|||Considering the administration that he is a part of just stole trillions of dollars from us, I don't even care about the 7 g's. They have me conditioned to be ok with a little stealing, and I expect it.|||Another day, another Democrat who is a tax cheat. Yawn.





I just emailed your question to the White House. I wonder what reponse I will get. You get a "star" by the way.|||I just wanna know how long I have to not pay my taxes before I'm considered for an administration position.|||Democrats don't have to pay taxes. Didn't you get the memo?
