^ I don’t think Johnson has proposed any taxes that will directly hit middle class families, depending on what the threshold is for the real estate transfer tax. What I’m worried is the job losses that could result from the corporate head and financial transaction taxes he’s proposing. Not to mention the hike on suburban Metra prices. Metra is already expensive, and making it more challenging for suburbanites to get downtown would absolutely make companies less likely to locate / stay there.
